CryptographyEncryptAsync(String, String, SymmetricAlgorithm, CancellationToken) Method

public static Task<string> EncryptAsync(
	string plainText,
	string key,
	SymmetricAlgorithm provider,
	CancellationToken cancellationToken = default
)

Parameters

plainText  String

The string to encrypt.

key  String

The key to encrypt the plaintext.

provider  SymmetricAlgorithm

Any symmetric cryptography provider derived from SymmetricAlgorithm to perform the encryption.

cancellationToken  CancellationToken  (Optional)

A CancellationToken controlling the request lifetime

Return Value

The default encryption algorithm is DES. Any other class derived from SymmetricAlgorithm can be used instead.
