Ariel, The cryptography in the .NET framework works using byte arrays. For a similar result, you'll need to convert from string to byte array your password, hash it, then reconvert the result into a string.
--- Sample --- using System.Text; using System.Security.Cryptography; ... MD5 md = MD5.Create (); byte[] digest = md.ComputeHash (Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes (password)); string result = Convert.ToBase64String (digest); --- Sebastien Pouliot Security Architect, Motus Technologies, http://www.motus.com/ work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ariel Rios" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 7:40 PM Subject: [Mono-list] How can I md5 and crypt a string? > In php I can check if a password is correct by doing something like: > crypt($user_input,$this->getPassword()) > > Also I can do > $hash = md5 ($str); > > Is there a way to do so currently in mono? > -- > Ariel Rios <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > -- > Ariel Rios <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Elektra - Gerencia GNU > > _______________________________________________ > Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list > _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
