3.3. Implementing the HashCore and HashFinal methods
The HashCore method receives message data into
the algorithm class; the amount of data to process can vary from a
single byte to very large arrays. Always ensure that you process only
the region of the array indicated by the
p_start_index and p_count
parameters. This method may be invoked multiple times, and you must
make sure that your algorithm can process data blocks incrementally,
rather then assuming that all of the message data will arrive at
once:
# C#
protected override void HashCore(byte[] p_array, int p_start_index, int p_count) {
// process each byte in the array
for (int i = p_start_index; i < p_count; i++) {
o_sum_1 = (ushort)((o_sum_1 + p_array[i]) % 65521);
o_sum_2 = (ushort)((o_sum_1 + o_sum_2) % 65521);
}
}
# Visual Basic .NET
Protected Overrides Sub HashCore(ByVal p_array( ) As Byte, _
ByVal p_start_index As Integer, ByVal p_count As Integer)
' process each byte in the array
Dim i As Integer
For i = p_start_index To p_count - 1 Step i + 1
o_sum_1 = (o_sum_1 + p_array(i)) Mod 65521
o_sum_2 = (o_sum_1 + o_sum_2) Mod 65521
Next
End Sub
The HashFinal method is called when all of the
message data has been processed by the HashCore
method and returns the computed hash code value as a
byte array. This method allows you to complete any
pending calculations before computing the final hash code. For
Alder32, you simply need to concatenate the two sum values together
to form the 32-bit hash code, and convert the result into a
byte array:
# C#
protected override byte[] HashFinal( ) {
// concat the two 16 bit values to form
// one 32-bit value
uint x_concat_value = (uint)((o_sum_2 << 16) | o_sum_1);
// use the bitconverter class to render the
// 32-bit integer into an array of bytes
return BitConverter.GetBytes(x_concat_value);
}
# Visual Basic .NET
Protected Overrides Function HashFinal( ) As Byte( )
' concat the two 16 bit values to form
' one 32-bit value
Dim x_concat_value As Integer = (o_sum_2 * 65536) Or o_sum_1
' use the bitconverter class to render the
' 32-bit integer into an array of bytes
Return BitConverter.GetBytes(x_concat_value)
End Function
3.4. Completing the class
The final step is to implement the
HashSize property to specify the size (in
bits) of the hash code that you are generating. Example 1 is the complete listing for the
Alder32Managed class:
Example 1. algorithm
# C#
using System; using System.Security.Cryptography;
public class Adler32Managed : HashAlgorithm { private ushort o_sum_1; private ushort o_sum_2;
public Adler32Managed( ) { Initialize( ); }
public override int HashSize { get { return 32; } }
public override void Initialize( ) { // reset the sum values o_sum_1 = 1; o_sum_2 = 0; }
protected override void HashCore(byte[] p_array, int p_start_index, int p_count) { // process each byte in the array for (int i = p_start_index; i < p_count; i++) { o_sum_1 = (ushort)((o_sum_1 + p_array[i]) % 65521); o_sum_2 = (ushort)((o_sum_1 + o_sum_2) % 65521); } }
protected override byte[] HashFinal( ) { // concat the two 16 bit values to form // one 32-bit value uint x_concat_value = (uint)((o_sum_2 << 16) | o_sum_1); // use the bitconverter class to render the // 32-bit integer into an array of bytes return BitConverter.GetBytes(x_concat_value); }
# Visual Basic .NET
Imports System Imports System.Security.Cryptography
Public Class Adler32Managed Inherits Adler32
Private o_sum_1 As Integer Private o_sum_2 As Integer
Public Sub New( ) Initialize( ) End Sub
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property HashSize( ) As Integer Get Return 32 End Get End Property
Public Overrides Sub Initialize( ) ' reset the sum values o_sum_1 = 1 o_sum_2 = 0 End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub HashCore(ByVal p_array( ) As Byte, _ ByVal p_start_index As Integer, ByVal p_count As Integer)
' process each byte in the array Dim i As Integer For i = p_start_index To p_count - 1 Step i + 1 o_sum_1 = (o_sum_1 + p_array(i)) Mod 65521 o_sum_2 = (o_sum_1 + o_sum_2) Mod 65521 Next End Sub
Protected Overrides Function HashFinal( ) As Byte( ) ' concat the two 16 bit values to form ' one 32-bit value Dim x_concat_value As Integer = (o_sum_2 * 65536) Or o_sum_1 ' use the bitconverter class to render the ' 32-bit integer into an array of bytes Return BitConverter.GetBytes(x_concat_value) End Function
End Class

3.5. Testing the implementation
Now that you have created the
implementation class, you can use the Adler32 algorithm in exactly
the same way as the other classes covered in this chapter. The
following listing details how to create an Adler32 hash code for the
message "Programming .NET
Security":
# C#
// define the message string that we will create a hash code for
string x_message_string = "Programming .NET Security";
// convert the message string into bytes
byte[] x_message_bytes = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(x_message_string);
HashAlgorithm x_hash_alg = new Adler32Managed( );
byte[] x_hash_code = x_hash_alg.ComputeHash(x_message_bytes);
// print out the hash code
foreach (byte x_byte in x_hash_code) {
Console.Write("{0:X2} ", x_byte);
}
# Visual Basic .NET
' define the message string that we will create a hash code for
Dim x_message_string As String = "Programming .NET Security"
' convert the message string into bytes
Dim x_message_bytes( ) As Byte = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(x_message_string)
