.NET/C# Generate SHA1 hex string for a string encoded as UTF8

        {
            var sb = new StringBuilder();
            foreach (byte b in bytes)
            {
                var hex = b.ToString("x2");
                sb.Append(hex);
            }
            return sb.ToString();

}

Fixed the typo. Thanks!

SHA1 implements IDisposable so you should use an using

            using (var sha1 = SHA1.Create())
            {
                byte[] hashBytes = sha1.ComputeHash(bytes);

                return HexStringFromBytes(hashBytes);
            }

If it's going to be called multiple times, it would be more efficient if you pull out the string builder to a static readonly field

i want that encrypted string in 16 character
