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.Encrypt(Input, Password); string DecryptedInput = AesGcmMaid.Decrypt(EncryptedBytes, Password);

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.Encrypt(Input, Password); string DecryptedInput = AesCbcMaid.Decrypt(EncryptedBytes, Password);
