String hashing function that will give the same results in Delphi and PHP

Question

I need a line hashing function that will give identical results in Delphi XE2 and PHP. What are my options? Preference will be given to a free, simple and cryptographically secure solution.

Answer 1

You can try the SHA1, crc32 or md5 algorithms, all of this is part of the PHP core, and there are many Delphi implementations.

• PHP sha1 , crc32 , md5
• Delphi Delphi Encryption Compendium (DEC) (MD5, SHA-1)
• Delphi SynCrypto (MD5, SHA-1)
• Delphi TurboPower LockBox (MD5, SHA-1)
• Part of Delphi JwsclCryptProvider in the Jwscl Library (JEDI Windows Security Code Lib) (MD5, SHA-1)

Answer 2

Have you tried common hash functions like \sha1() ?
