I need to encrypt bytecode to send over a connection to a webservice, preferably using a GUID as a key. I have done a bit of research and found several classes developed for a similar purpose, but haven’t been able to turn up much that is built into the Windows libraries.
My question is: Is there something built in to C# that performs this task? If there is not, I would very much appreciate any suggestions as to implementation.
Edit: After reading this post When would I choose AesCryptoServiceProvider over AesManaged or RijndaelManaged?
I am going with AESCryptoServiceProvider.
You should check out the
System.Security.Cryptographynamespace.It’s not clear whether you’re in a position to choose which algorithm etc to use, but you might consider one of the following symmetric algorithms:
AesManagedorAesCryptoServiceProviderRijndaelManagedTripleDESCryptoServiceProviderThere are also implementations of DES and RC2, but I would probably ignore them unless you’re forced to use them.
