title: MD5 and SHA1 C++ hashing library
body: <p>I'm trying to find a good (and well documented) hashing library to use with my C++ program, I only need to generate two hashes from a string.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried with <code>crypto++</code> and <code>mhash</code> and I didn't manage to make them work, also with <a href="http://www.zedwood.com/article/121/cpp-md5-function">http://www.zedwood.com/article/121/cpp-md5-function</a></p>
  
  <p>I would be glad if this library is cross-platform.</p>
