I’m reading a book entitled beginning asp.net security from wrox and I’m in this part where it shows a code snippet for using rijndael the problem this example is not included in the downloadable source codes. I decided to seek (professional)help here in the forums.
It would be awesome if you try and test it as well and hopefully give an example(codes) on how I could implement it.
Here is the code:
public class EncryptionRijndael
{
public EncryptionRijndael()
{
//
// TODO: Add constructor logic here
//
}
public static byte[] GenerateRandomBytes(int length)
{
byte[] key = new byte[length];
RNGCryptoServiceProvider provider = new RNGCryptoServiceProvider();
provider.GetBytes(key);
return key;
}
public void GetKeyAndIVFromPasswordAndSalt(string password, byte[] salt,SymmetricAlgorithm symmetricAlgorithm,ref byte[] key, ref byte[] iv)
{
Rfc2898DeriveBytes rfc2898DeriveBytes =
new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(password, salt);
key =
rfc2898DeriveBytes.GetBytes(symmetricAlgorithm.KeySize / 8);
iv =
rfc2898DeriveBytes.GetBytes(symmetricAlgorithm.BlockSize / 8);
}
public static byte[] Encrypt(byte[] clearText, byte[] key, byte[] iv)
{
// Create an instance of our encyrption algorithm.
RijndaelManaged rijndael = new RijndaelManaged();
// Create an encryptor using our key and IV
ICryptoTransform transform = rijndael.CreateEncryptor(key, iv);
// Create the streams for input and output
MemoryStream outputStream = new MemoryStream();
CryptoStream inputStream = new CryptoStream(
outputStream,
transform,
CryptoStreamMode.Write);
// Feed our data into the crypto stream.
inputStream.Write(clearText, 0, clearText.Length);
// Flush the crypto stream.
inputStream.FlushFinalBlock();
// And finally return our encrypted data.
return outputStream.ToArray();
}
static byte[] Decrypt(byte[] cipherText, byte[] key, byte[] iv)
{
// Create an instance of our encyrption algorithm.
RijndaelManaged rijndael = new RijndaelManaged();
// Create an decryptor using our key and IV ;
ICryptoTransform transform = rijndael.CreateDecryptor(key, iv);
// Create the streams for input and output
MemoryStream outputStream = new MemoryStream();
CryptoStream inputStream = new CryptoStream(outputStream,transform,CryptoStreamMode.Write);
// Feed our data into the crypto stream.
inputStream.Write(cipherText, 0, cipher.Length);
// Flush the crypto stream.
inputStream.FlushFinalBlock();
// And finally return our decrypted data.
return outputStream.ToArray();
}
}
Sir/Ma’am your answers would be of great help. Thank you++
(it would be awesome if you could show me how to call encrypt and decrypt properly)
I have found that it is best to create a class to wrap your credentials and a separate one to do the encryption. Here is what I created… sorry it’s in vb instead of c#:
