Hashing Algorithm

[Cheetah]

Hi there,

Basically, I need an algorithm which I can parse in a 3-10 digit number and it create a unique fixed length combination of letters and numbers.

I then need to be able to use that unique fixed length combination and convert it back.

Does anyone have a class for this, or should I create my own, if so does anyone know where I can start.

It's not for passwords or anything like that its just for something that i don't want to use to know.

Thanks.

Hashing don't "recover", it's a one-way operation. If you need a unique string you could use the shared Guid.NewGuid() method.
