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 the corresponding data also matches. Small changes to the data result in large, unpredictable changes in the hash.
Dim data(DATA_SIZE) AsByteDim result() AsByteDim sha AsNew SHA1CryptoServiceProvider()
' This is one implementation of the abstract class SHA1.
result = sha.ComputeHash(data)
ubyte data[] = new ubyte[data_Size];
ubyte result[];
SHA1 sha = new SHA1CryptoServiceProvider();
// This is one implementation of the abstract class SHA1.
result = sha.ComputeHash(data);
