So calling Integer::DEREncode(bf)
will be enough? How to aply hashing on bf which is a BufferedTransformation
object?

Well, there is a slight disconnect between Integer and an array
of
octets. This stems from the multitude of ways they can be
represented.
If you want a byte of the n-bit Integer then you can
get one (given
normal byte boundaries) with GetByte(). You can also
get the ASN.1
encoding on an Integer, which is a stream of octets with a
header
explaining how long it is, and that it is an
Integer.
Normally a definitive format like DEREncoding to ASN.1 then
hashing is
a good way of doing this. It eliminates ordering and
other problems
that can crop up.
