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="/>

您必须使用System.Security.Cryptography来使用命名空间;usehash是bool类型，true或false。字符串变量“key”对于加密和解密应该是相同的

免责声明:此解决方案只能用于未公开的静态数据(例如配置文件或DB)。只有在这种情况下，快速和肮脏的解决方案才能被认为比@jbtule的解决方案更好，因为它的维护更低。

原来的帖子: 我发现jbtule的答案对于一个快速和肮脏的安全AES字符串加密有点复杂，Brett的答案有一个错误，初始化向量是一个固定的值，使它容易受到填充攻击，所以我修复了Brett的代码，并添加了一个随机IV，添加到chitered字符串，创建一个不同的加密值，每个加密相同的值:

加密:

public static string Encrypt(string clearText)
{            
    byte[] clearBytes = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(clearText);
    using (Aes encryptor = Aes.Create())
    {
        byte[] IV = new byte[15];
        rand.NextBytes(IV);
        Rfc2898DeriveBytes pdb = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(EncryptionKey, IV);
        encryptor.Key = pdb.GetBytes(32);
        encryptor.IV = pdb.GetBytes(16);
        using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
        {
            using (CryptoStream cs = new CryptoStream(ms, encryptor.CreateEncryptor(), CryptoStreamMode.Write))
            {
                cs.Write(clearBytes, 0, clearBytes.Length);
                cs.Close();
            }
            clearText = Convert.ToBase64String(IV) + Convert.ToBase64String(ms.ToArray());
        }
    }
    return clearText;
}

解密:

public static string Decrypt(string cipherText)
{
    byte[] IV = Convert.FromBase64String(cipherText.Substring(0, 20));
    cipherText = cipherText.Substring(20).Replace(" ", "+");
    byte[] cipherBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(cipherText);
    using (Aes encryptor = Aes.Create())
    {
        Rfc2898DeriveBytes pdb = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(EncryptionKey, IV);
        encryptor.Key = pdb.GetBytes(32);
        encryptor.IV = pdb.GetBytes(16);
        using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
        {
            using (CryptoStream cs = new CryptoStream(ms, encryptor.CreateDecryptor(), CryptoStreamMode.Write))
            {
                cs.Write(cipherBytes, 0, cipherBytes.Length);
                cs.Close();
            }
            cipherText = Encoding.Unicode.GetString(ms.ToArray());
        }
    }
    return cipherText;
}

将EncryptionKey替换为您的密钥。 在我的实现中，密钥被保存在配置文件(web.config\app.config)中，因为您不应该将其硬编码保存。配置文件也应该加密，这样密钥就不会被保存为明文。

protected static string _Key = "";
protected static string EncryptionKey
{
    get
    {
        if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(_Key))
        {
            _Key = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AESKey"].ToString();
        }

        return _Key;
    }
}

支持mattmanser的回答。下面是一个使用MachineKey类加密/解密URL安全值的示例。

Something to bear in mind, as mentioned before, this will use Machine config settings (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff649308.aspx). You can set encryption and decryption key/algorithm manually (you might need this specially if your site is running on multiple servers) in web.config file. You can generate keys from IIS (see here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vijaysk/2009/05/13/iis-7-tip-10-you-can-generate-machine-keys-from-the-iis-manager/) or can use an online machine key generator like: http://www.developerfusion.com/tools/generatemachinekey/

    private static readonly UTF8Encoding Encoder = new UTF8Encoding();

    public static string Encrypt(string unencrypted)
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(unencrypted)) 
            return string.Empty;

        try

            var encryptedBytes = MachineKey.Protect(Encoder.GetBytes(unencrypted));

            if (encryptedBytes != null && encryptedBytes.Length > 0)
                return HttpServerUtility.UrlTokenEncode(encryptedBytes);    
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            return string.Empty;
        }

        return string.Empty;
    }

    public static string Decrypt(string encrypted)
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(encrypted)) 
            return string.Empty;

        try
        {
            var bytes = HttpServerUtility.UrlTokenDecode(encrypted);
            if (bytes != null && bytes.Length > 0)
            {
                var decryptedBytes = MachineKey.Unprotect(bytes);
                if(decryptedBytes != null && decryptedBytes.Length > 0)
                    return Encoder.GetString(decryptedBytes);
            }

        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
