Do someone of you know what encryption algorithm is used exactly in the Data Protection API for WP7?
I’ve read a few MSDN and Wikipedia articles on this, but most of them focussed on DPAPI for the pc versions of Windows. I could assume it is 3DES like it is said in this whitepaper, but I hope for AES. Between 2001 and 2011 a lot of things happened to cryptography 🙂
Any additional information whould be highly appreciated 🙂
As near as I can tell DPAPI continues to use the Triple-DES algorithm.
I can find no mention of it changing.
