EncryptionMaid
Super simple encryption in C#.
Usage
AesGcmMaid (recommended)
AES-GCM ensures confidentiality and authenticity:
- A randomly-generated nonce ensures identical inputs produce different outputs.
- An authentication tag ensures the encrypted data was not tampered with.
using EncryptionMaid;
string Input = "my data to encrypt";
string Password = "my super secret password";
byte[] EncryptedBytes = AesGcmMaid.EncryptStringWithPassword(Input, Password, 600_000);
string DecryptedInput = AesGcmMaid.DecryptStringWithPassword(EncryptedBytes, Password, 600_000);
AesCbcMaid
AES-CBC ensures confidentiality but not authenticity:
- A randomly-generated initialization vector (IV) ensures identical inputs produce different outputs.
- It does not ensure the encryption data was not tampered with. A separate hash message authentication code (HMAC) would be required.
using EncryptionMaid;
string Input = "my data to encrypt";
string Password = "my super secret password";
byte[] EncryptedBytes = AesCbcMaid.EncryptStringWithPassword(Input, Password, 600_000);
string DecryptedInput = AesCbcMaid.DecryptStringWithPassword(EncryptedBytes, Password, 600_000);
AesCbcHmacMaid
AES-CBC with HMAC ensures confidentiality and authenticity:
- A randomly-generated initialization vector (IV) ensures identical inputs produce different outputs.
- A hash message authentication code (HMAC) ensures the encrypted data was not tampered with.
using EncryptionMaid;
string Input = "my data to encrypt";
string Password = "my super secret password";
byte[] EncryptedBytes = AesCbcHmacMaid.EncryptStringWithPassword(Input, Password, 600_000);
string DecryptedInput = AesCbcHmacMaid.DecryptStringWithPassword(EncryptedBytes, Password, 600_000);
