我有一个名为X509Crypto的开源项目，它利用证书来加密和解密字符串。它很容易使用。下面是一个如何使用它的例子:

1. 2 .使用X509Crypto命令行生成新的加密证书和密钥对

>x509crypto.exe
X509Crypto> makecert -context user -keysize medium -alias myvault

Certificate with thumbprint B31FE7E7AE5229F8186782742CF579197FA859FD was added to X509Alias "myvault" in the user X509Context

X509Crypto>

2. 使用Encrypt CLI命令向新的X509Alias添加一个秘密

X509Crypto> encrypt -text -alias myvault -context user -secret apikey -in "80EAF03248965AC2B78090"

Secret apikey has been added to X509Alias myvault in the user X509Context

X509Crypto>

3.在程序中引用该秘密

一旦你建立了一个X509Alias并添加了你的秘密，在你的程序中使用Org检索它们是很简单的。X509Crypto nuget包安装:

using Org.X509Crypto;

namespace SampleApp
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var Alias = new X509Alias(@"myvault", X509Context.UserReadOnly);
            var apiKey = Alias.RecoverSecret(@"apikey");
        }
    }
}

加密是编程中非常常见的问题。我认为最好是安装一个包来为您做这个任务。也许是一个简单的开源NuGet项目 简单Aes加密

密钥在配置文件中，因此很容易在生产环境中更改，而且我没有看到任何缺点。

<MessageEncryption>
  <EncryptionKey KeySize="256" Key="3q2+796tvu/erb7v3q2+796tvu/erb7v3q2+796tvu8="/>
</MessageEncryption>

下面是一个使用RSA的例子。

重要:使用RSA加密KeySize - MinimumPadding加密的数据大小是有限制的。例如256字节(假设2048位密钥)- 42字节(最小OEAP填充)= 214字节(最大明文大小)

用RSA密钥替换your_rsa_key。

var provider = new System.Security.Cryptography.RSACryptoServiceProvider();
provider.ImportParameters(your_rsa_key);

var encryptedBytes = provider.Encrypt(
    System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Hello World!"), true);

string decryptedTest = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(
    provider.Decrypt(encryptedBytes, true));

下面是一个简单的例子，在c#中使用AES CBC模式加密字符串，并使用随机IV和HMAC和密码派生密钥，以显示基本的移动部分:

private byte[] EncryptBytes(byte[] key, byte[] plaintext)
{
    using (var cipher = new RijndaelManaged { Key = key })
    {
        using (var encryptor = cipher.CreateEncryptor())

        int ivSize = cipher.BlockSize / 8;

        cipher.IV = packed.Take(ivSize).ToArray();

    var kdf = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(password, salt, 10000);

    var bytes = kdf.GetBytes(32); // Two keys 128 bits each

    return new List<byte[]> { bytes.Take(16).ToArray(), bytes.Skip(16).ToArray() };
