I need a function written in Excel VBA that will hash passwords using a standard algorithm such as SHA-1. Something with a simple interface like:
Public Function CreateHash(Value As String) As String
...
End Function
The function needs to work on an XP workstation with Excel 2003 installed, but otherwise must use no third party components. It can reference and use DLLs that are available with XP (CryptoAPI?).
Does anyone know of a sample to achieve this.
With the pseudo-code of SHA-1 (found here) it should be easy to write your own CreateHash function.
You'll find an implementation for VB and VBScript here:
MD5: http://www.frez.co.uk/freecode.htm#md5
SHA256: http://www.frez.co.uk/freecode.htm#sha256
I believe it would be quite easy to port to excel.
However someone has already done that. Unfortunately the solution is at experts-exchange which doesn't allow straight links. So we have to go through Google. Click here to perform a Google search and then click the first result. Scroll down a lot to see the accepted solution.
Here's a module for calculating SHA1 hashes that is usable for Excel formulas eg '=SHA1("test")'. To use it, make a new module called 'module_sha1' and copy and paste it all in. This is based on some VBA code from http://vb.wikia.com/wiki/SHA-1.bas, with changes to support passing it a string, and runnable from formulas in Excel cells.
