MD5 in WSA (Metro) and others (but no WP8)

Unity Engine

Here is how to calculate MD5 in Windows Store Applications (Metro) and other platforms, except Windows Phone 8.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

#if UNITY_METRO
using Windows.Security.Cryptography;
using Windows.Security.Cryptography.Core;
using Windows.Storage.Streams;
#else
using System.Text;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
#endif

public class MD5Test : MonoBehaviour {
	string md5val;

	void Start () {
		md5val = Md5Sum("Hello World!");
		Debug.Log(md5val);
	}
	
	void OnGUI () {
		GUILayout.Label(md5val);
	}

	public string Md5Sum(string strToEncrypt)
	{
#if UNITY_METRO
		// Convert the message string to binary data.
		IBuffer buffUtf8Msg = CryptographicBuffer.ConvertStringToBinary(strToEncrypt, BinaryStringEncoding.Utf8);
		
		// Create a HashAlgorithmProvider object.
		HashAlgorithmProvider objAlgProv = HashAlgorithmProvider.OpenAlgorithm(HashAlgorithmNames.Md5);
		
		// Demonstrate how to retrieve the name of the hashing algorithm.
		string strAlgNameUsed = objAlgProv.AlgorithmName;
		
		// Hash the message.
		IBuffer buffHash = objAlgProv.HashData(buffUtf8Msg);
		
		// Verify that the hash length equals the length specified for the algorithm.
		if (buffHash.Length != objAlgProv.HashLength)
			return null;

		// Convert the hash to a string (for display).
		string strHashBase64 = CryptographicBuffer.EncodeToBase64String(buffHash);
		
		// Return the encoded string
		return strHashBase64.PadLeft(32, '0');
#else
		UTF8Encoding ue = new UTF8Encoding();
		byte[] bytes = ue.GetBytes(strToEncrypt);
		
		// encrypt bytes
		MD5CryptoServiceProvider md5 = new MD5CryptoServiceProvider();
		byte[] hashBytes = md5.ComputeHash(bytes);
		
		// Convert the encrypted bytes back to a string (base 16)
		string hashString = "";
		
		for (int i = 0; i < hashBytes.Length; i++)
		{
			hashString += System.Convert.ToString(hashBytes[i], 16).PadLeft(2, '0');
		}
		
		return hashString.PadLeft(32, '0');
#endif
	}
}

This is based in this documentation and example:

MD5 is not available in Windows Phone 8:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/wpapps/en-us/7e3c121b-16fe-413f-b008-7fa6a0e3ecae/how-to-md5-in-wp8?forum=wpdevelop

If WP8 has significant need for MD5, I could probably code it up to work with Windows Phone. I have a similar open source project I did a few years ago when I wrote an RSA Encryption library for Windows Phone 7 and Silverlight (because Microsoft did not include them) which is cross-compatible with the built in RSACryptoServiceProvider:

http://scrypt.codeplex.com

Edit: There’s also this:
http://farazmahmood.wordpress.com/projects/md5-implementation-in-c/

That will be very useful indeed, several users have asked about this to Unity Support.

I tested Faraz Mahmood’s implementation and it seems to work fine, but the hashes generated with long strings don’t always match those of the API. Also found this one from Microsoft:

http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/SilverlightMD5

In the comments a user says the output doesn’t match neither. I would still recommend most libraries out there to calculate MD5, but people might have problems when comparing their values with those from other services.

Jeff Wilcox made one for Silverlight 2 Beta. :slight_smile: It returns a string but the reason it doesn’t match is because it’s returning a Hex encoded string. I modified his version and added a “GetMd5Bytes” method which returns the raw byte array. Then I converted it to a Base64 string and re-encoded the original string using the built in MD5CryptoServiceProvider from Microsoft (calling the ComputHash method) and Base64 encoded that. Upon comparison, both results match.

Here is the test behavior I wrote to test it:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
using UnityEngine;
using JeffWilcox.Utilities.Silverlight;

public class MD5TestBehavior : MonoBehaviour {

	void Start ()
	{
	    var testString = "This is a test string";

        var hash = MD5CryptoServiceProvider.GetMd5Bytes(testString);
	    Debug.Log(Convert.ToBase64String(hash));

	    using (var stream = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(testString)))
	    {
	        var netcsp = new MD5CryptoServiceProvider();
	        var hash2 = netcsp.ComputeHash(stream);

	        Debug.Log(Convert.ToBase64String(hash2));

	    }    
	}
}

And the license by Jeff Wilcox says you can use and are free to modify and change the namespace. I left the namespace as is so change it to whatever you like. Here is the source for the original:

http://www.jeff.wilcox.name/2008/03/silverlight-2-md5/

And here is my modified code to allow retrieving the raw byte array:

If I get time to work on it in the next day or two I’ll restructure Jeff’s code so usage and implementation matches that of the built in provider. Then I’ll wrap this all up in a tidy #if UNITY_WP8 directives so it will be as simple as dropping in the script and the same code will then work across all platforms without any fiddling.

You can always use - Unity - Scripting API: Crypto , works both on Windows Store Apps / WP8

@Thomas - I tested all three implementations with a long string and they all produced the same results. Thanks for pointing out the Crypto stuff, I was unaware of it.

That being said, I think the modified Jeff Wilcox implementation might still be handy. The UnityEngine.Windows namespace isn’t even available unless you’re targeting Windows Store Apps or Windows Phone so you’d have to wrap your code in:

#if UNITY_WINRT

#endif

By modifying Jeff Willcox’s implementation to match MD5CryptoServiceProvider’s signature a user could write a piece of MD5 hash code that would target both iOS and Windows Store Apps for example and not have to use any directives themselves because implementation and usage would be the same.
