Python's hash objects can be copied by copy() method. To quote the library reference, "This can be used to efficiently compute the digests of strings that share a common initial substring."
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-hashlib.html I couldn't find any way to copy a cryptographic context encapsulated by HashAlgorithm instances on .NET framework. I found this curious, as this is so clearly useful. Someone suggested that this is same as SSPI(Security Service Provider Interface), which also doesn't provide any way to copy a cryptographic context. But this can't be the reason, as .NET framework's SHA* classes are implemented in the managed code. Can anyone shed some light? -- Seo Sanghyeon _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
