Provides a Cryptography Next Generation (CNG) implementation of the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) for 512-bit hash values.
'Usage Dim instance As SHA512Cng 'Declaration <HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, MayLeakOnAbort := True)> _ Public NotInheritable Class SHA512Cng _ Inherits SHA512
The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: MayLeakOnAbort. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes.
This algorithm is for hashing only and does not provide any encryption or decryption. It uses the BCrypt (BestCrypt) layer CNG.
