Data security is a critical concern in software development. Encrypting sensitive information is one way to protect data from unauthorized access. In C#, there are various encryption algorithms and libraries available to help you secure your data. In this article, we will explore 10 common encryption algorithms and the corresponding NuGet packages.
NuGet Package: System.Security.Cryptography.AesManaged
Description: AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm widely used for data encryption. It supports key lengths of 128, 192, or 256 bits.
Example Code:
using System;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.Text;class Program
{
static void Main()
{
using (Aes aesAlg = Aes.Create())
{
aesAlg.Key = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("ThisIsASecretKey");
aesAlg.IV = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("ThisIsAnInitializationVector");
string plainText = "Hello, World!";
byte[] encryptedData = EncryptStringToBytes_Aes(plainText, aesAlg.Key, aesAlg.IV);
string decryptedText = DecryptStringFromBytes_Aes(encryptedData, aesAlg.Key, aesAlg.IV);
Console.WriteLine("Original: {0}", plainText)…
