SHA384 Class

Computes the SHA384 hash for the input data.

Namespace: System.Security.Cryptography
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

<ComVisibleAttribute(True)> _
Public MustInherit Class SHA384 _
    Inherits HashAlgorithm

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As SHA384

[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public abstract class SHA384 : HashAlgorithm

Visual C++

[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public ref class SHA384 abstract : public HashAlgorithm

JScript

public abstract class SHA384 extends HashAlgorithm

Remarks

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 SHA384 algorithm is 384 bits.

Examples

The following example computes the SHA384 hash for data and stores it in result. This example assumes that there is a predefined constant DATA_SIZE.

Visual Basic

Dim data(DATA_SIZE) As Byte
Dim result() As Byte
Dim shaM As New SHA384Managed()
result = shaM.ComputeHash(data)

byte[] data = new byte[DATA_SIZE];
byte[] result;
SHA384 shaM = new SHA384Managed();
result = shaM.ComputeHash(data);

Visual C++

array<Byte>^ data = gcnew array<Byte>( DATA_SIZE );
array<Byte>^ result;
SHA384^ shaM = gcnew SHA384Managed;
result = shaM->ComputeHash( data );
