加密很简单:正如其他人指出的那样，在System.Security.Cryptography名称空间中有一些类可以为您完成所有工作。使用它们，而不是任何自制的解决方案。

但是解密也很容易。您遇到的问题不是加密算法，而是保护对用于解密的密钥的访问。

我会使用以下解决方案之一:

DPAPI using the ProtectedData class with CurrentUser scope. This is easy as you don't need to worry about a key. Data can only be decrypted by the same user, so no good for sharing data between users or machines. DPAPI using the ProtectedData class with LocalMachine scope. Good for e.g. protecting configuration data on a single secure server. But anyone who can log into the machine can encrypt it, so no good unless the server is secure. Any symmetric algorithm. I typically use the static SymmetricAlgorithm.Create() method if I don't care what algorithm is used (in fact it's Rijndael by default). In this case you need to protect your key somehow. E.g. you can obfuscate it in some way and hide it in your code. But be aware that anyone who is smart enough to decompile your code will likely be able to find the key.

只是想补充一下，我已经改进了Mud的SimplerAES，通过添加一个随机IV，在加密字符串中传递回。这改进了加密，因为加密同一个字符串每次都会产生不同的输出。

public class StringEncryption
{
    private readonly Random random;
    private readonly byte[] key;
    private readonly RijndaelManaged rm;
    private readonly UTF8Encoding encoder;

    public StringEncryption()
    {
        this.random = new Random();
        this.rm = new RijndaelManaged();
        this.encoder = new UTF8Encoding();
        this.key = Convert.FromBase64String("Your+Secret+Static+Encryption+Key+Goes+Here=");
    }

    public string Encrypt(string unencrypted)
    {
        var vector = new byte[16];
        this.random.NextBytes(vector);
        var cryptogram = vector.Concat(this.Encrypt(this.encoder.GetBytes(unencrypted), vector));
        return Convert.ToBase64String(cryptogram.ToArray());
    }

    public string Decrypt(string encrypted)
    {
        var cryptogram = Convert.FromBase64String(encrypted);
        if (cryptogram.Length < 17)
        {
            throw new ArgumentException("Not a valid encrypted string", "encrypted");
        }

        var vector = cryptogram.Take(16).ToArray();
        var buffer = cryptogram.Skip(16).ToArray();
        return this.encoder.GetString(this.Decrypt(buffer, vector));
    }

    private byte[] Encrypt(byte[] buffer, byte[] vector)
    {
        var encryptor = this.rm.CreateEncryptor(this.key, vector);
        return this.Transform(buffer, encryptor);
    }

    private byte[] Decrypt(byte[] buffer, byte[] vector)
    {
        var decryptor = this.rm.CreateDecryptor(this.key, vector);
        return this.Transform(buffer, decryptor);
    }

    private byte[] Transform(byte[] buffer, ICryptoTransform transform)
    {
        var stream = new MemoryStream();
        using (var cs = new CryptoStream(stream, transform, CryptoStreamMode.Write))
        {
            cs.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
        }

        return stream.ToArray();
    }
}

奖励单元测试

[Test]
public void EncryptDecrypt()
{
    // Arrange
    var subject = new StringEncryption();
    var originalString = "Testing123!£$";

    // Act
    var encryptedString1 = subject.Encrypt(originalString);
    var encryptedString2 = subject.Encrypt(originalString);
    var decryptedString1 = subject.Decrypt(encryptedString1);
    var decryptedString2 = subject.Decrypt(encryptedString2);

    // Assert
    Assert.AreEqual(originalString, decryptedString1, "Decrypted string should match original string");
    Assert.AreEqual(originalString, decryptedString2, "Decrypted string should match original string");
    Assert.AreNotEqual(originalString, encryptedString1, "Encrypted string should not match original string");
    Assert.AreNotEqual(encryptedString1, encryptedString2, "String should never be encrypted the same twice");
}

如果你只是想要简单的加密(即，一个坚定的破解者可能会破解，但会锁定大多数普通用户)，只需选择两个长度相等的密码短语，例如:

deoxyribonucleicacid
while (x>0) { x-- };

和xor你的数据与他们(循环密码短语，如果需要)(a)。例如:

1111-2222-3333-4444-5555-6666-7777
deoxyribonucleicaciddeoxyribonucle
while (x>0) { x-- };while (x>0) { 

搜索二进制文件的人很可能认为DNA字符串是一个密钥，但他们不太可能认为C代码是用二进制文件保存的未初始化内存。

(a)请记住，这是非常简单的加密，根据某些定义，可能根本不被认为是加密(因为加密的目的是防止未经授权的访问，而不仅仅是使其更加困难)。当然，即使是最强的加密也不安全因为有人拿着钢管站在钥匙持有人旁边。

正如第一句所述，这是一种让随意的攻击者变得足够困难的方法，他们会继续前进。这类似于防止入室盗窃——你不需要让它变得坚不可摧，你只需要让它比隔壁的房子不那么坚不可摧:-)

是，添加系统。安全程序集，导入System.Security.Cryptography名称空间。这是一个简单的对称(DES)算法加密的例子:

DESCryptoServiceProvider des = new DESCryptoServiceProvider();
des.GenerateKey();
byte[] key = des.Key; // save this!

ICryptoTransform encryptor = des.CreateEncryptor();
// encrypt
byte[] enc = encryptor.TransformFinalBlock(new byte[] { 1, 2, 3, 4 }, 0, 4);

ICryptoTransform decryptor = des.CreateDecryptor();

// decrypt
byte[] originalAgain = decryptor.TransformFinalBlock(enc, 0, enc.Length);
Debug.Assert(originalAgain[0] == 1);

我把我从几个答案和评论中找到的最好的东西结合起来。

更新2015-07-18:修复了@bpsilver和@Evereq注释中private Encrypt()方法的错误。IV被意外加密，现在以明文形式被Decrypt()前置。

我清理了SimpleAES(上图)供我使用。固定复杂的加密/解密方法;用于编码字节缓冲区、字符串和url友好字符串的分离方法;利用现有的库进行URL编码。

代码更小，更简单，更快，输出更简洁。例如，johnsmith@gmail.com产生:
