How can I SHA512 a string in C#?

byte[] data = new byte[DATA_SIZE];
byte[] result;
SHA512 shaM = new SHA512Managed();
result = shaM.ComputeHash(data);

If you need the HMAC-version (to add authentication to the hash)

public static byte[] HmacSha512(string text, string key)
{
    byte[] bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(text);

    var hmac = new Org.BouncyCastle.Crypto.Macs.HMac(new Org.BouncyCastle.Crypto.Digests.Sha512Digest());
    hmac.Init(new Org.BouncyCastle.Crypto.Parameters.KeyParameter(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key)));

    byte[] result = new byte[hmac.GetMacSize()];
    hmac.BlockUpdate(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
    hmac.DoFinal(result, 0);

    return result;
}

public static string SHA512(string input)
{
    var bytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(input);
    using (var hash = System.Security.Cryptography.SHA512.Create())
    {
        var hashedInputBytes = hash.ComputeHash(bytes);

        // Convert to text
        // StringBuilder Capacity is 128, because 512 bits / 8 bits in byte * 2 symbols for byte 
        var hashedInputStringBuilder = new System.Text.StringBuilder(128);
        foreach (var b in hashedInputBytes)
            hashedInputStringBuilder.Append(b.ToString("X2"));
        return hashedInputStringBuilder.ToString();
    }
}
