C# SHA-256 vs. Java SHA-256. Different results?

Question

I want to convert a some code which is in Java to C#.

Java Code:

  private static final byte[] SALT = \"NJui8*&N823bVvy03^4N\".getBytes();

  public         


        

Answer 1

The String.getBytes method encodes the string to bytes using the platform's default charset, whereas the example code you linked uses UTF-8.

Try this:

digest.update(secret.getBytes("UTF-8"));

Secondly, the Integer.toHexString method returns the hexadecimal result with no leading 0s.
