    Hi Valery,

    Thank you for replying. I tried your information but seem to be unable
    to recreate the stream. The initial 128bits from .net are equivalent to
    K' in your description, but if I XOR the bytes of K' with either 0x36
    or 0x5C and re-hash, I don't get the second group of 128 bytes. As an
    experiment I tried:
    H(K' XOR n) where n = 1 to 0xFF
    to see if any of the resultant bytes streams matched what .net is
    returning without any luck. Did I misunderstand your explanation?
    Thanks for any info.
