This article helps the C# beginners to do simple encryption and decryption of strings. It will be useful for simple password encryption or any such string encryption.
Encryption using the default key:
Encryption using the user's custom key:
Decryption using the user's custom key:
The demo application uses a class SSTCryptographer which contains two static overloaded methods and a static property.
On Button clicks:
private void btnEncrypt_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
txtOutputText.Text = SSTCryptographer.Encrypt(txtInputText.Text,SetKey());
}
private void btnDecrypt_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
txtOutputText.Text = SSTCryptographer.Decrypt(txtInputText.Text,SetKey());
}
