在本机反应中将字节数组转换为 MD5 Hash

Question

I have a system in C# which receives a password and this password is encrypted into a MD5 Hash using this function. I had read a lot of posts and suggestion, but I couldn't create the MD5 byte array as in C#.

public static string GetMD5HashData(string data)
{
    //create new instance of md5
    MD5 md5 = MD5.Create();

    //convert the input text to array of bytes
    byte[] hashData = md5.ComputeHash(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(data));

    //create new instance of StringBuilder to save hashed data
    StringBuilder returnValue = new StringBuilder();

    //loop for each byte and add it to StringBuilder
    for (int i = 0; i < hashData.Length; i++)
    {
        returnValue.Append(hashData[i].ToString());
    }

    // return hexadecimal string
    return returnValue.ToString();
}

The return of this function is this string 207154234292557519022585191701391052252168 . I need to generate the same string in React Native. This part Encoding.Default.GetBytes(data) in the C# function I've reproduced in React native, so both C# and React native return the same array of bytes from the input string .

Input string: 'system123' byte array: '[115, 121, 115, 116, 101, 109, 49, 50, 51]'

The React native function to generate the array of bytes.

convertStringToByteArray = (str) =>{
    var bufferedVal = Buffer.from(str, 'utf8').toString('hex');
    String.prototype.encodeHex = function () {
        var bytes = [];
        for (var i = 0; i < this.length; ++i) {
            bytes.push(this.charCodeAt(i));
        }
    
        return bytes;
    };
   
    var byteArray = str.encodeHex();
    return byteArray;
};

I've tried some libs like crypto-js for react-native to create the MD5 hash, but could not generate the same value as C# ' 207154234292557519022585191701391052252168 '. Could someone help me?

Answer 1

Applying CryptoJS and assuming UTF8 encoding, the C# logic can be implemented as follows:

 var result = ''; var hashBytes = CryptoJS.MD5('system123').toString(CryptoJS.enc.Latin1); for (var i = 0; i < hashBytes.length; i++) result += hashBytes.codePointAt(i).toString(); console.log(result); // 207154234292557519022585191701391052252168

Explanation: CryptoJS.MD5() implicitly performs a UTF-8 encoding since the data is passed as string ( here ). The Latin1 encoder converts the WordArray into a bytes string. In the loop, the Unicode code point value for each byte is determined as non-negative integer, converted to a string, and concatenated.

The issue is that you use a different encoding in your C# code compared to your js code. Try to use Encoding.UTF8 instead of Encoding.Default in your code.

public static string GetMD5HashData(string data)
{
    //create new instance of md5
    MD5 md5 = MD5.Create();

    //convert the input text to array of bytes
    byte[] hashData = md5.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data));

    //create new instance of StringBuilder to save hashed data
    StringBuilder returnValue = new StringBuilder();

    //loop for each byte and add it to StringBuilder
    for (int i = 0; i < hashData.Length; i++)
    {
        returnValue.Append(hashData[i].ToString());
    }

    // return hexadecimal string
    return returnValue.ToString();

}
