Crypt

Introduction

To use the following methods, you need to use the version 2.6 or higher of LeoCorpLibrary, and put this in your "using" region:

C#

using LeoCorpLibrary;

VB

Imports LeoCorpLibrary

Functions

a. Encrypt

This function is available in version 2.6 and higher.

The Encrypt() method allows you to encrypt a string. It returns a string value.

It's in:

LeoCorpLibrary.Crypt.Encrypt()

This method has a few arguments:

Type	Argument	Description
string	source	The string to encrypt
string	key	The key that will be used to encrypt and decrypt the string

Here's an example of usage:

C#

string s = "Hello!";
string encrypted = LeoCorpLibrary.Crypt.Encrypt(s, "ABC123");

// Output: jqPW4uxt8hk=

VB

Dim s As String = "Hello!"
Dim encrypted As String = LeoCorpLibrary.Crypt.Encrypt(s, "ABC123")

' Output: jqPW4uxt8hk=

The EncryptRSA() method allows you to encrypt a string using RSA encryption. It returns a byte[] value.

It's in:

LeoCorpLibrary.Crypt.EncryptRSA()

This method has a few arguments:

Type	Argument	Description
string	str	The string to encrypt
RSAParameters	rsaParameters	The RSA key

Here's an example of usage:

C#

using System.Security.Cryptography;

RSACryptoServiceProvider cryptoServiceProvider = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();

string str = "LeoCorpLibrary";
byte[] encrypt = Crypt.EncryptRSA(str, cryptoServiceProvider.ExportParameters(false));

Console.WriteLine($"Raw: {str}\nEncrypted: {Crypt.ConvertBytesToString(encrypt)}");

VB

Imports System.Security.Cryptography

Dim cryptoServiceProvider As RSACryptoServiceProvider = New RSACryptoServiceProvider()

Dim str As String = "LeoCorpLibrary"
Dim encrypt As Byte() = Crypt.EncryptRSA(str, cryptoServiceProvider.ExportParameters(False))

Console.WriteLine($"Raw: " + str + "\nEncrypted: " + Crypt.ConvertBytesToString(encrypt))

byte[] decrypt = Crypt.DecryptRSA(encrypt, cryptoServiceProvider.ExportParameters(true));

Console.WriteLine($"Raw: {str}\nEncrypted: {Crypt.ConvertBytesToString(encrypt)}\nDecrypted: {Crypt.ConvertBytesToString(decrypt)}");

VB

Imports System.Security.Cryptography

Dim cryptoServiceProvider As RSACryptoServiceProvider = New RSACryptoServiceProvider()

Dim str As String = "LeoCorpLibrary"
Dim encrypt As Byte() = Crypt.EncryptRSA(str, cryptoServiceProvider.ExportParameters(False))
Dim decrypt As Byte() = Crypt.DecryptRSA(encrypt, cryptoServiceProvider.ExportParameters(True))
