.NET Framework Encryption / Cryptography RijndaelManaged
Example
Required Namespace: System.Security.Cryptography
private class Encryption {
private const string SecretKey = "topSecretKeyusedforEncryptions";
private const string SecretIv = "secretVectorHere";
public string Encrypt(string data) {
return string.IsNullOrEmpty(data) ? data : Convert.ToBase64String(this.EncryptStringToBytesAes(data, this.GetCryptographyKey(), this.GetCryptographyIv()));
}
public string Decrypt(string data) {
return string.IsNullOrEmpty(data) ? data : this.DecryptStringFromBytesAes(Convert.FromBase64String(data), this.GetCryptographyKey(), this.GetCryptographyIv());
}
private byte[] GetCryptographyKey() {
return Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(SecretKey.Replace('e', '!'));
}
private byte[] GetCryptographyIv() {
return Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(SecretIv.Replace('r', '!'));
}
private byte[] EncryptStringToBytesAes(string plainText, byte[] key, byte[] iv) {
MemoryStream encrypt;
RijndaelManaged aesAlg = null;
try {
aesAlg = new RijndaelManaged {
Key = key,
IV = iv
};
var encryptor = aesAlg.CreateEncryptor(aesAlg.Key, aesAlg.IV);
encrypt = new MemoryStream();
using (var csEncrypt = new CryptoStream(encrypt, encryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write)) {
using (var swEncrypt = new StreamWriter(csEncrypt)) {
swEncrypt.Write(plainText);
}
}
} finally {
aesAlg?.Clear();
}
return encrypt.ToArray();
}
private string DecryptStringFromBytesAes(byte[] cipherText, byte[] key, byte[] iv) {
RijndaelManaged aesAlg = null;
string plaintext;
try {
aesAlg = new RijndaelManaged {
Key = key,
IV = iv
};
var decryptor = aesAlg.CreateDecryptor(aesAlg.Key, aesAlg.IV);
using (var msDecrypt = new MemoryStream(cipherText)) {
using (var csDecrypt = new CryptoStream(msDecrypt, decryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Read)) {
using (var srDecrypt = new StreamReader(csDecrypt))
plaintext = srDecrypt.ReadToEnd();
}
}
} finally {
aesAlg?.Clear();
}
return plaintext;
}
}
Usage
var textToEncrypt = "hello World";
var encrypted = new Encryption().Encrypt(textToEncrypt); //-> zBmW+FUxOvdbpOGm9Ss/vQ==
var decrypted = new Encryption().Decrypt(encrypted); //-> hello World
Note:
- Rijndael is the predecessor of the standard symmetric cryptographic algorithm AES.
