Implement SHA1 algorithm in flex

Question

I am building an application in Flex, wherein I need to encrypt user id and password using the SHA1 alogorithm. I have not come across any standard Flex library which allows me to do this. Does anyone know how to achieve this in Flex?

Answer 1

I rolled my own long ago in Haxe (starting from a C implementation) and could be trivial to convert that to AS. However seems that this is now easily available in this SHA1 implementation in as3 directly from corelib.
