RyeolStringHasher.zip

This is simple libraries that compute hash from a string. It is implemented in COM (32/64 bits) and C#.

The input string is converted into UTF-8, and then is hashed by a hash algorithm such as MD5, SHA2-256, etc. The hashed binary is encoded by Base64.

The following code is an example of using the string hasher in C#. The StringHasher class is implemented in the StringHasher.cs file.

/*
 *  C#
 */
using Ryeol.Security.Cryptography;
...

// Creates an instance.
StringHasher hasher = new StringHasher();

// Sets the hash algorithm.
// MD5, SHA1, SHA2-256, SHA2-384, SHA2-512 are supported.
hasher.Algorithm = StringHasherAlgorithm.SHA2_256;

// Hashs a string.
string hashed = hasher.Compute("Test sample");

The following code shows how to use the string hasher in ASP(VBScript). Since ASP doesn't support built-in hash algorithm, you need to install the RyeolStringHasher.dll file which is a COM dll based on XySSL 0.8.
(You also need to install the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012.)

'
'  ASP (VBScript)
' 
' Creates an instance.
Set objHasher = Server.CreateObject("Ryeol.StringHasher")

' Sets the hash algorithm.
' MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA2-224, SHA2-256, SHA2-384, SHA2-512 are supported.
objHasher.Algorithm = "SHA2-256"

' Hashs a string.
strHashed = objHasher.Compute("Test sample")

Release Note

June 7, 2013
The C# StringHasher has changed to create a hash implementation by using the Create method to support Windows XP.

December 10, 2012
Initial release.

RyeolStringEncrypter.zip

This is new string encrypters that is the upgrade of the previous string encrypters to support AES-256. Though PHP and Java are not available, you can download a COM dll (32/64 bit) and a C# class.

The string encrypters take two strings, a key and an initialization vector. To be used as an AES key, the key string is converted into UTF-8, and then is hashed by MD5 or SHA2-256.

Similarly, the IV is hashed by MD5.

The input string is converted into UTF-8, and then is encrypted using 128-bits or 256-bits AES in Cipher Block Chaining(CBC) with PKCS7 padding. The AES key size depends on the size of the hash for the key string. For example, if the hash is SHA2-256, 256-bits AES is used. Base64 is used for the encrypted binary.

The following code is an example of using the string encrypter in C#. The StringEncrypter class is implemented in the StringEncrypter.cs file.

/*
 *  C#
 */
using Ryeol.Security.Cryptography;
...
const string key = "This is a secret key.";
const string iv = "This is an initialization vector.";

// Creates an instance.
StringEncrypter encrypter = new StringEncrypter(key, iv);

// Sets the key hash algorithm. MD5 and SHA2-256 are supported.
// In this case the hash size is 256 bits, AES-256 is used.
encrypter.KeyHashAlgorithm = StringEncrypterKeyHashAlgorithm.SHA2_256;

// Encrypts a string.
string encrypted = encrypter.Encrypt("Test sample");

// Decrypts the encrypted string.
string decrypted = encrypter.Decrypt(encrypted);

'  ASP (VBScript)

Const conKey = "This is a secret key."
Const conIV = "This is an initialization vector."

' Creates an instance.
Set objEncrypter = Server.CreateObject("Ryeol.StringEncrypter")

objEncrypter.Key = conKey
objEncrypter.IV = conIV

' Sets the key hash algorithm. MD5 and SHA2-256 are supported.
' In this case the hash size is 256 bits, AES-256 is used.
objEncrypter.KeyHashAlgorithm = "SHA2-256"

strEncrypted = objEncrypter.Encrypt("Test sample")

' Decrypts the encrypted string.
strDecrypted = objEncrypter.Decrypt(strEncrypted)
