public static Sha512 Sha512_256 { get; }

Properties

HashSize

Gets the size of a hash.

public int HashSize { get; }

Property Value

The hash size, in bytes.

Methods

Hash(ReadOnlySpan<byte>)

Computes a hash for the specified input data and returns it as an array of bytes.

public byte[] Hash(
    ReadOnlySpan<byte> data)

Parameters

data
The data to hash.

Return Value

The computed hash.

Hash(ReadOnlySpan<byte>, Span<byte>)

Fills the specified span of bytes with a hash for the specified input data.

public void Hash(
    ReadOnlySpan<byte> data,
    Span<byte> hash)

Parameters

data
The data to hash.
hash
The span to fill with the computed hash.

Exceptions

ArgumentException
hash.Length is not equal to HashSize.

Verify(ReadOnlySpan<byte>, ReadOnlySpan<byte>)

Verifies the specified input data using the specified hash.

public bool Verify(
    ReadOnlySpan<byte> data,
    ReadOnlySpan<byte> hash)

Parameters

data
The data to verify. Verification fails if the integrity of the data was compromised.
hash
The hash for the data.

Return Value

true if verification succeeds; otherwise, false.

Thread Safety

All members of this type are thread safe.

Purity

All methods yield the same result for the same arguments.
