I have a need to compute a MD5 hash. I haven’t found any existing functions in the Microsoft or GHI libraries. Anyone know of something I can use for the .net micro framework?
Thanks, Paul
You can start from this http://blogs.msdn.com/b/delay/archive/2009/01/28/thank-goodness-for-reference-implementations-low-overhead-net-md5-implementation-source-code-and-tests-works-great-on-silverlight.aspx
@ Wouter Thanks for the pointer. That example class derives from the System.Security.Cryptography.HashAlgorithm abstract class. That base class isn’t in the .net micro framework, so that code probably won’t work (since I don’t know what the base class is doing).
You can use this library and compile it for RLP, or convert it to C#:
Here is another version in c++ if you prefer:
MD5 will be available in .NET Micro Framework 4.2. Beta is already available bo you need to wait for GHI to release a beta sdk to use it.
You only need the code starting from “MD5 implementation starts here” ignore that crypto stuff
Wouter - I ran into an issue with the
System.Buffer
class missing. I guess I need to look at implementing the
Buffer.BlockCopy
method myself.
What about Array.Copy? Not sure what that blockcopy does, never used it.
Wouter-
The difference between Buffer.BlockCopy and Array.Copy is that the buffer copies the entire block at once and then places it in the destination array. This means that the source and destination arrays can be the same, and that the bytes you are copying from in the array can overlap the bytes you are writing to (you can shift data in the array without destroying data).
I have converted the code for you. Didn’t have to change a lot…

Usage:

string text = "TEST";
test.HashCore(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(text), 0, text.Length);
byte[] hash = test.HashFinal();
Tested it, and it works.
Wouter - Wow, thanks for converting this! I’ll give it a try as soon as I can. I have copied it into my project, it compiles no problem. It’ll probably be a few days before I can actually test it, but it looks like you already proved it works. Thanks again.

Hello,
I try to use the MD5Managed code but I only get something with strings smaller than 16 chars. If I try bigger string I get nothing.
Did you encountered this problem ?
Lionel
MD5Managed md5 = new MD5Managed();
string text = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
md5.HashCore(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(text), 0, text.Length);
var buffer = md5.HashFinal();
Debug.Print(new StreamReader(new MemoryStream(buffer)).ReadToEnd());
Debug.Print("Length : " + buffer.Length);
Result :
The thread ‘’ (0x2) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
Done.
Length : 16
The thread ‘’ (0x1) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The program ‘[1020] Micro Framework application: Managed’ has exited with code 0 (0x0).
I tried your code but modified the output method and I see no problems. The hash in output window is correct.
MD5Managed md5 = new MD5Managed();
string text = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
md5.HashCore(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(text), 0, text.Length);
byte[] buffer = md5.HashFinal();
char[] output = new char[buffer.Length * 2];
for (int i = 0; i < buffer.Length; i++)
{
output[(i << 1) + 0] = (buffer[i] >> 4) <= 9 ? (char)((buffer[i] >> 4) + '0') : (char)((buffer[i] >> 4) - 10 + 'A');
output[(i << 1) + 1] = (buffer[i] & 15) <= 9 ? (char)((buffer[i] & 15) + '0') : (char)((buffer[i] & 15) - 10 + 'A');
}
Debug.Print(new string(output));
Hello Wouter,
Thanks for your help. I used a wrong displaying method.
