Need Identical String-Hashing Implementations in Javascript, C#

Question

I'd like to be able to generate a simple hash value (on an ordered set of strings, so I'm fine if it's just a hash of the concatenation of the strings) on the client side in Javascript, and generate an identical hash value on the same strings on the server side in C# for an exact comparison. The security is not overwhelmingly critical, so I don't know if it needs to be a fullblown encryption protocol (although if that's the easiest path, I'm open to it). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you are after an identical hashing function, why not implement something well-documented, such as this in both javascript and C#, thereby guaranteeing you are hashing the same way on both the client and the server?

Thank you! Seems nice and easy to implement on both Javascript and C# fronts.

Murmur hash is a fast algorithm (albeit not for crypto applications).
