Definition

Namespace: KGySoft.CoreLibraries
Assembly: KGySoft.CoreLibraries (in KGySoft.CoreLibraries.dll) Version: 10.0.0
C#
public static string Encrypt(
	this string text,
	SymmetricAlgorithm algorithm,
	string password,
	out byte[] salt,
	Encoding? encoding = null
)

Parameters

text  String
The source plain text to encrypt.
algorithm  SymmetricAlgorithm
A SymmetricAlgorithm instance to be used for encryption.
password  String
Password of encryption.
salt  Byte
When this method returns, contains the randomly generated salt bytes used to derive the key and initialization vector bytes. This parameter is passed uninitialized.
encoding  Encoding  (Optional)
An optional Encoding to transcode the text before encryption. If , then the actual UTF-16 encoding will be used, which can be faster and may allocate less memory, but the result may be longer if text contains ASCII characters only, for example. This parameter is optional.
