This function will help you generate MD5 hash of a given string
Class.h
+ (NSString *)getMD5FromString:(NSString *)source;
Class.m
+ (NSString *)getMD5FromString:(NSString *)source{ const char *src = ; unsigned char result[CC_MD5_DIGEST_LENGTH]; CC_MD5(src, strlen(src), result); NSString *ret = [[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X%02X", result[0], result[1], result[2], result[3], result[4], result[5], result[6], result[7], result[8], result[9], result[10], result[11], result[12], result[13], result[14], result[15] ] autorelease]; return [ret lowercaseString]; }
Nice MD5 routine. How about whipping one up for SHA1?
