Synopsis

public abstract class SHA512 : HashAlgorithm {
// Public Constructors
   public SHA512(  );
// Public Static Methods
   public static SHA512 Create(  );
   public static SHA512 Create(string hashName);
}

This class extends HashAlgorithm and is the abstract representation of the SHA-512 algorithm, which creates a 512-bit hash code. Individual implementations of SHA-512 extend this class. The .NET Framework class library includes the SHA512Managed class, which is the default implementation.
