Convert SHA Hash Computation in Python to C#

c#, hash, python, sha1

Solution

You could use the HMACSHA1 class to compute the hash:

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        var secret = "secret";
        var data = "data";
        var hmac = new HMACSHA1(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(secret));
        var hash = hmac.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data));
        Console.WriteLine(BitConverter.ToString(hash));
    }
}

Problem

Can someone please help me convert the following two lines of python to C#. ``` hash = hmac.new(secret, data, digestmod = hashlib.sha1) key = hash.hexdigest()[:8] ``` The rest looks like this if you're intersted: ``` #!/usr/bin/env python import hmac import hashlib secret = 'mySecret' data = 'myData' hash = hmac.new(secret, data, digestmod = hashlib.sha1) key = hash.hexdigest()[:8] print key ``` Thanks
