how to encrypt string in c# code example

Example 1: c# encrypt decrypt string

public static string Base64Decode(string base64EncodedData)
{
   var base64EncodedBytes = System.Convert.FromBase64String(base64EncodedData);
   return System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(base64EncodedBytes);
}
public static string Base64Encode(string plainText)
{
   var plainTextBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(plainText);
   return System.Convert.ToBase64String(plainTextBytes);
}

Example 2: encrypt in C#

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Security.Cryptography;

class Class1
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        //The key and IV must be the same values that were used
        //to encrypt the stream.
        byte[] key = { 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06, 0x07, 0x08, 0x09, 0x10, 0x11, 0x12, 0x13, 0x14, 0x15, 0x16 };
        byte[] iv = { 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06, 0x07, 0x08, 0x09, 0x10, 0x11, 0x12, 0x13, 0x14, 0x15, 0x16 };
        try
        {
            //Create a file stream.
            FileStream myStream = new FileStream("TestData.txt", FileMode.Open);

            //Create a new instance of the default Aes implementation class
            Aes aes = Aes.Create();

            //Create a CryptoStream, pass it the file stream, and decrypt
            //it with the Aes class using the key and IV.
            CryptoStream cryptStream = new CryptoStream(
               myStream,
               aes.CreateDecryptor(key, iv),
               CryptoStreamMode.Read);

            //Read the stream.
            StreamReader sReader = new StreamReader(cryptStream);

            //Display the message.
            Console.WriteLine("The decrypted original message: {0}", sReader.ReadToEnd());

            //Close the streams.
            sReader.Close();
            myStream.Close();
        }
        //Catch any exceptions.
        catch
        {
            Console.WriteLine("The decryption failed.");
            throw;
        }
    }
}
