SHA512Managed Class

The hash is used as a unique value of fixed size representing a large amount of data. Hashes of two sets of data should match if and only if the corresponding data also matches. Small changes to the data result in large unpredictable changes in the hash.

The hash size for the SHA512Managed algorithm is 512 bits.

The following example computes the SHA512Managed hash for data and stores it in result. This example assumes that there is a predefined constant DATA_SIZE.

byte[] data = new byte[DATA_SIZE]; 
byte[] result;
 
SHA512 shaM = new SHA512Managed(); 
result = shaM.ComputeHash(data);

ubyte data[] = new ubyte[data_Size];
ubyte result[];
SHA512 shaM = new SHA512Managed();

result = shaM.ComputeHash(data);
