Code to one way hash a string using SHA1.

public static string GenerateSHA1(string input)
{
    byte[] buffer = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(input);
    SHA1CryptoServiceProvider cryptoTransformSHA1 = new SHA1CryptoServiceProvider();
    string hash = BitConverter.ToString(cryptoTransformSHA1.ComputeHash(buffer)).Replace("-", "");

    return hash;
}
