如何在C#中加密和解密字符串?
对称加密字符串的现代对称认证加密示例。
对于对称加密,一般最佳实践是使用具有关联数据的认证加密(AEAD),但是这不是标准.NET加密库的一部分。因此,第一个示例使用AES256,然后使用HMAC256,一个加密-认证的双步骤过程,需要更多的开销和更多的密钥。
第二个示例使用更简单的AES256-GCM实践,使用开源软件Bouncy Castle(通过nuget)。
这两个示例都有一个主函数,接受机密消息字符串、密钥和可选的非机密负载,并返回经过认证的加密字符串,可选择在非机密数据前缀中添加。理想情况下,您将使用这些随机生成的256位密钥(请参阅NewKey()
)。
这两个示例还有一个帮助方法,使用字符串密码生成密钥。这些帮助方法仅供参考,以便与其他示例匹配,然而它们比256位密钥要脆弱得多,因为密码的强度将比256位密钥弱得多。
更新:添加了byte[]
重载,并且仅在Gist中具有完整的格式和API文档,因为StackOverflow答案限制。
