[System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(true)] public abstract class SHA1 : HashAlgorithm

Remarks

Recent attacks on the SHA-1 algorithm suggest that it can be broken with a complexity of about 2^63, while a normal brute-force attack would be 2^80. You are encourage to migrate your applications to larger version of SHA. [Edit]
