Hello,
I need to hash some data (char *) and would like to get the hash back as a
char *, so far I've come up with (based on the example with the source):
void md5Data(const char *data)
{
MD5 md5;
HashFilter md5Filter(md5);
auto_ptr<ChannelSwitch> channelSwitch(new ChannelSwitch);
channelSwitch->AddDefaultRoute(md5Filter);
StringSource(data, true, channelSwitch.release());
HexEncoder encoder(new FileSink(cout), false);
cout << "\nMD5: ";
md5Filter.TransferTo(encoder);
cout << "\n";
}
Now, my (limited) understanding of crypto++ is this:
To get the data as a string (rather then stout), I would need to implement a
class that inherits from Sink, then get the data out of it myself??
I would think that this sort of thing is quite common, is there a better way
of doing it, or something in the lib I am missing???
Cheers
Matt Smith
