BouncyCastle是一个很棒的。net加密库，它可以作为Nuget包安装到你的项目中。比起目前System.Security.Cryptography库中可用的东西，我更喜欢它。它为你提供了更多可用算法的选择，并为这些算法提供了更多的模式。

这是一个TwoFish实现的例子，它是由Bruce Schneier(我们所有偏执的人的英雄)编写的。这是一个像Rijndael一样的对称算法 (又名AES)。它是AES标准的三个最终入选者之一，是Bruce Schneier编写的另一个著名算法BlowFish的兄弟姐妹。

使用bouncycastle的第一件事是创建一个加密器类，这将使它更容易在库中实现其他块密码。下面的加密器类接受一个泛型参数T，其中T实现了IBlockCipher，并有一个默认构造函数。

UPDATE: Due to popular demand I have decided to implement generating a random IV as well as include an HMAC into this class. Although from a style perspective this goes against the SOLID principle of single responsibility, because of the nature of what this class does I reniged. This class will now take two generic parameters, one for the cipher and one for the digest. It automatically generates the IV using RNGCryptoServiceProvider to provide good RNG entropy, and allows you to use whatever digest algorithm you want from BouncyCastle to generate the MAC.

接下来只需在新类上调用加密和解密方法，下面是使用twofish的示例:

var encrypt = new Encryptor<TwofishEngine, Sha1Digest>(Encoding.UTF8, key, hmacKey);

string cipher = encrypt.Encrypt("TEST");   
string plainText = encrypt.Decrypt(cipher);

替换像TripleDES这样的分组密码也很容易:

var des = new Encryptor<DesEdeEngine, Sha1Digest>(Encoding.UTF8, key, hmacKey);

string cipher = des.Encrypt("TEST");
string plainText = des.Decrypt(cipher);

最后，如果你想使用AES和SHA256 HMAC，你可以做以下事情:

var aes = new Encryptor<AesEngine, Sha256Digest>(Encoding.UTF8, key, hmacKey);

cipher = aes.Encrypt("TEST");
plainText = aes.Decrypt(cipher);

The hardest part about encryption actually deals with the keys and not the algorithms. You'll have to think about where you store your keys, and if you have to, how you exchange them. These algorithms have all withstood the test of time, and are extremely hard to break. Someone who wants to steal information from you isn't going to spend eternity doing cryptanalysis on your messages, they're going to try to figure out what or where your key is. So #1 choose your keys wisely, #2 store them in a safe place, if you use a web.config and IIS then you can encrypt parts of the the web.config, and finally if you have to exchange keys make sure that your protocol for exchanging the key is secure.

更新2 改变比较方法以减轻定时攻击。点击这里查看更多信息http://codahale.com/a-lesson-in-timing-attacks/。还更新到默认PKCS7填充，并添加了新的构造函数，以允许最终用户选择他们想要使用的填充。感谢@CodesInChaos的建议。

下面是如何使用Bouncy castle包进行AES-GCM加密/解密的示例。

当我在谷歌上搜索从GOlang crypto/aes api解密数据的可能性时，我发现了这个示例:

const (
    gcmBlockSize         = 16 // this is key size
    gcmTagSize           = 16 // this is mac
    gcmStandardNonceSize = 12 // this is nonce
)

func encrypt(data []byte, passphrase string) []byte {
    block, _ := aes.NewCipher([]byte(createHash(passphrase)))
    gcm, err := cipher.NewGCM(block)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err.Error())
    }
    nonce := make([]byte, gcm.NonceSize())
    if _, err = io.ReadFull(rand.Reader, nonce); err != nil {
        panic(err.Error())
    }
    ciphertext := gcm.Seal(nonce, nonce, data, nil)
    return ciphertext
}

. net sample就像一个带有key(256位)，mac(128位)和nonce(96位)的咒语。

用于AES-GCM加密的BouncyCastle的替代方案是libsodium-net。它包装了libsodium C库。一个很好的优点是它在cpu中使用AES-NI扩展进行非常快速的加密。缺点是，如果CPU没有扩展，它根本无法工作。软件没有退路。
