Alternatives of MD5CryptoServiceProvider in CoreCLR (ASP.NET 5 Core)

Question

I am using the new version of ASP.NET MVC 6 (ASP.NET 5). If I target .NET CoreCLR framework (ASP.NET Core) the code doesn't compile because I am using MD5CryptoServiceProvider from System.Security.Cryptography. Can you suggest any alternatives that compile with the CoreCLR framework?

Answer 1

Use MD5.Create() from the package System.Security.Cryptography.Hashing.Algorithms. System.Security.Cryptography.Algorithms.

Update System.Security.Cryptography.Hashing.Algorithms is marked obsolete at the moment.

Answer 2

Update to Victor Hurdugaci's answer: use package System.Security.Cryptography.Algorithms.

System.Security.Cryptography.Hashing.Algorithms is marked obsolete at the moment.
