Hasher

A .NET hashing library for easy and simple use.

How Hasher Works?

This Hasher extension is a simple tool to hash your strings while you can control the properties of the hash. Within the Hasher extension there are two classes:

The Salt class

The Salt class is for generating an unique Salt. When using this class you need to pass the minimum & maximum length. The purpose of this class is to have control over the size of the Salt, instead of the methods itself.

The Hasher class

This class contains functionalities for three hashing algorithms:

• Sha256: more information about the algorithm here.
• Sha512: more information about the algorithm here.
• PBKDF2: more information about the algorithm here.

Every algorithm has his own Compute & Validate method.

How Do I Use Hasher?

This extension is created for easier and simpler use, so everything is very straight forward. Within the Examples directory, you can find demo's of the three hashing algorithms, together with the salt generation.

The classes are sealed, this means the classes are not meant for inheritance. When you really want to use with inheritance, just delete the sealed keyword.

The extension is XML Documented, so it's supported with C# intellisense.

Requirements

There are no third party libraries used in this extension, only .NET libraries.

Installation.

This extension is installed through Git.

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/mHvNG/Hasher
2. Move the Hasher.cs to your own project .NET project.
3. Open the file with your texteditor.
4. Change the namespace to: [yournamespace].Hashing.
5. To use the extension, just type: using [yournamespace].Hahsing.

Everything is setup correctly now.

NOTE: It's not neccessary to include the Hashing namespace within your own namespace, then you can just use this: using Hashing. BUT just make sure it's included in your .sln or makefile.
