Apologies if I've mentioned this before. I have a similar class to DigestUtils but with a few differences:
http://www.osjava.org/genjava-core/xref/com/generationjava/security/Securer.html 1) It treats it as an object not a static. 2) It hides CRC32 and Adler32 'digests'. 3) It does some basic help on comparing hashes. Partly this is due to my habit of turning all such byte[]'s into hexascii 0-F notation so it can easily go in databases. Please ignore Constant, and ByteArray ideas went into Hex I think so Hex should support anything it does. I think I read that the static was preferred to instance, but has anyone considered the CRC32 and Adler32 checksums that are hidden away in the util.zip code?
