where is SHA512Managed in .NET CORE?

[giancarloa]

hello... I am trying to convert some code over to .NET CORE and am having trouble converting the code below... is basically hashes a password using SHA512Managed... can anyone please assist???? on the internet all I have been able to find is old conflicting information, and I guess that makes sense with all of this changing so much and constantly... thank you

using (SHA512 shaM = new SHA512Managed())
{
userPassword.Password = shaM.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(saltedPassword));
}

var sha512 = SHA512.Create() should be equivalent to what you have.

thanks @pranavkm ... but do you know which package???? that's the most confusing part of trying to convert to .net core... and that is figuring out which packages are needed since now everything is spread all over the place... thanks

@giancarloa Try the Reverse Package Search ... http://packagesearch.azurewebsites.net/

@guardrex, it doesn't seem to list the type (just other references to SHA512). Perhaps it hasn't been updated in a while.
@giancarloa it's located in https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Security.Cryptography.Algorithms/4.0.0-beta-23516

As this isn't an ASP.NET issue, and it's been answered, I'm closing and locking this.

For .NET Core issues their repo is right over there -> https://github.com/dotnet/corefx
