Cannot decrypt with iv as plain text AES

I have logic that works perfectly in C# for encrypting and decrypting text using AES CBC 128 Bit
Now I have a problem where the other party cannot decrypt the text and nor can this site:
https://www.devglan.com/online-tools/aes-encryption-decryption
How can I get the IV into a version that can be used to decrypt outside of C#?
I tried
stream = encryptionInfo.InversionVectorText.ToMemoryStream(Encoding.ASCII);
also
stream = encryptionInfo.InversionVectorText.ToMemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8);
Neither of these give me a value that I can paste into the site above and have work
The other side want me to send the IV in plain text
My full code is below for reference:
public static class SecurityExtensions
{
private static Aes GetAes(string keyText, byte[] iv)
{
var key = keyText.ToByteArray();
var result = Aes.Create();
result.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
result.KeySize = 128;
if (iv.Length > 0)
{
result.IV = iv;
}
result.Key = key;
return result;
}
private static string GenerateRandomCryptoString(int length, string charset = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890")
{
using (var crypto = new System.Security.Cryptography.RNGCryptoServiceProvider())
{
var result = crypto.GenerateRandomCryptoString(length, charset);
return result;
}
}
private static string GenerateRandomCryptoString(this RNGCryptoServiceProvider random,
int length,
string charset = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890") =>
RandomString(random.GetBytes, length, charset.ToCharArray());
private static string RandomString(Action<byte[]> fillRandomBuffer, int length, char[] charset)
{
var maxIdx = charset.Length;
var chars = new char[length];
var randomBuffer = new byte[length * 4];
fillRandomBuffer(randomBuffer);
for (var i = 0; i < length; i++)
chars[i] = charset[BitConverter.ToUInt32(randomBuffer, i * 4) % maxIdx];
var result = new string(chars);
return result;
}
public static AesEncryptionInfo EncryptWithAes(this string plainText, string keyText)
{
//Generate an IV made up of only alphanumeric characters to avoid encoding/decoding issues
var ivText = GenerateRandomCryptoString(16);
var iv = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(ivText);
var aesAlg = GetAes(keyText, iv);
var encryptor = aesAlg.CreateEncryptor(aesAlg.Key, aesAlg.IV);
byte[] encrypted;
using (var msEncrypt = new MemoryStream())
{
using (var csEncrypt = new CryptoStream(msEncrypt, encryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write))
{
using (var swEncrypt = new StreamWriter(csEncrypt))
{
swEncrypt.Write(plainText);
}
encrypted = msEncrypt.ToArray();
}
}
aesAlg.Dispose();
var result = new AesEncryptionInfo(encrypted, aesAlg.IV);
return result;
}
public static string DecryptFromAes(this byte[] cipherText, string keyText, byte[] iv)
{
string result;
var aesAlg = GetAes(keyText, iv);
var decryptor = aesAlg.CreateDecryptor(aesAlg.Key, aesAlg.IV);
// Create the streams used for decryption.
using (MemoryStream msDecrypt = new MemoryStream(cipherText))
{
using (CryptoStream csDecrypt = new CryptoStream(msDecrypt, decryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Read))
{
using (StreamReader srDecrypt = new StreamReader(csDecrypt))
{
result = srDecrypt.ReadToEnd();
}
}
}
return result;
}
}
public class AesEncryptionInfo
{
public AesEncryptionInfo(byte[] encrypted, byte[] inversionVector)
{
InversionVector = inversionVector;
Encrypted = encrypted;
}
public byte[] InversionVector { get; set; }
public byte[] Encrypted { get; set; }
public string InversionVectorText => Encoding.Default.GetString(InversionVector);
}
The other side are adamant they do not want to do any kind of decoding, which is obviously not a good approach!
So I have some code that generates a random 16 character string of numbers or letters. This definitely generates a string of 16 characters.
When I decrypt this using the logic above the text is decrypted correctly, but I also see random characters at the start. I dont know why this happens?

how to perform AES encryption c# [duplicate]

Locked. This question and its answers are locked because the question is off-topic but has historical significance. It is not currently accepting new answers or interactions.
I can't seem to find a nice clean example of using AES 128 bit encryption.
Does anyone have some sample code?

If you just want to use the built-in crypto provider RijndaelManaged, check out the following help article (it also has a simple code sample):

I've recently had to bump up against this again in my own project - and wanted to share the somewhat simpler code that I've been using, as this question and series of answers kept coming up in my searches.
I'm not going to get into the security concerns around how often to update things like your Salt and Initialization Vector - that's a topic for a security forum, and there are some great resources out there to look at. This is simply a block of code to implement AesManaged in C#.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.Text;
namespace Your.Namespace.Security {
public static class Cryptography {
#region Settings
private static int _iterations = 2;
private static int _keySize = 256;
private static string _hash = "SHA1";
private static string _salt = "aselrias38490a32"; // Random
private static string _vector = "8947az34awl34kjq"; // Random
#endregion
public static string Encrypt(string value, string password) {
return Encrypt<AesManaged>(value, password);
}
public static string Encrypt<T>(string value, string password)
where T : SymmetricAlgorithm, new() {
byte[] vectorBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_vector);
byte[] saltBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_salt);
byte[] valueBytes = GetBytes<UTF8Encoding>(value);
byte[] encrypted;
using (T cipher = new T()) {
PasswordDeriveBytes _passwordBytes =
new PasswordDeriveBytes(password, saltBytes, _hash, _iterations);
byte[] keyBytes = _passwordBytes.GetBytes(_keySize / 8);
cipher.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
using (ICryptoTransform encryptor = cipher.CreateEncryptor(keyBytes, vectorBytes)) {
using (MemoryStream to = new MemoryStream()) {
using (CryptoStream writer = new CryptoStream(to, encryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write)) {
writer.Write(valueBytes, 0, valueBytes.Length);
writer.FlushFinalBlock();
encrypted = to.ToArray();
}
}
}
cipher.Clear();
}
return Convert.ToBase64String(encrypted);
}
public static string Decrypt(string value, string password) {
return Decrypt<AesManaged>(value, password);
}
public static string Decrypt<T>(string value, string password) where T : SymmetricAlgorithm, new() {
byte[] vectorBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_vector);
byte[] saltBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_salt);
byte[] valueBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(value);
byte[] decrypted;
int decryptedByteCount = 0;
using (T cipher = new T()) {
PasswordDeriveBytes _passwordBytes = new PasswordDeriveBytes(password, saltBytes, _hash, _iterations);
byte[] keyBytes = _passwordBytes.GetBytes(_keySize / 8);
cipher.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
try {
using (ICryptoTransform decryptor = cipher.CreateDecryptor(keyBytes, vectorBytes)) {
using (MemoryStream from = new MemoryStream(valueBytes)) {
using (CryptoStream reader = new CryptoStream(from, decryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Read)) {
decrypted = new byte[valueBytes.Length];
decryptedByteCount = reader.Read(decrypted, 0, decrypted.Length);
}
}
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
return String.Empty;
}
cipher.Clear();
}
return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(decrypted, 0, decryptedByteCount);
}
}
}
The code is very simple to use. It literally just requires the following:
string encrypted = Cryptography.Encrypt(data, "testpass");
string decrypted = Cryptography.Decrypt(encrypted, "testpass");
By default, the implementation uses AesManaged - but you could actually also insert any other SymmetricAlgorithm. A list of the available SymmetricAlgorithm inheritors for .NET 4.5 can be found at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.cryptography.symmetricalgorithm.aspx
As of the time of this post, the current list includes:
AesManaged
RijndaelManaged
DESCryptoServiceProvider
RC2CryptoServiceProvider
TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider
To use RijndaelManaged with the code above, as an example, you would use:
string encrypted = Cryptography.Encrypt<RijndaelManaged>(dataToEncrypt, password);
string decrypted = Cryptography.Decrypt<RijndaelManaged>(encrypted, password);
I hope this is helpful to someone out there.

Look at sample in here..

Using AES or implementing AES? To use AES, there is the System.Security.Cryptography.RijndaelManaged class.

For a more complete example that performs key derivation in addition to the AES encryption, see the answer and links posted in Getting AES encryption to work across Javascript and C#.
EDIT
a side note: Javascript Cryptography considered harmful. Worth the read.

clsCrypto aes = new clsCrypto();
aes.IV = "this is your IV"; // your IV
aes.KEY = "this is your KEY"; // your KEY
strEncryptedData = aes.Encrypt(strOriginalData, CipherMode.CBC); // your cipher mode
MessageBox.Show("ENCRYPTED DATA:\r\n" + strEncryptedData);

I can't seem to find a nice clean example of using AES 128 bit encryption.
Does anyone have some sample code?

If you just want to use the built-in crypto provider RijndaelManaged, check out the following help article (it also has a simple code sample):

I've recently had to bump up against this again in my own project - and wanted to share the somewhat simpler code that I've been using, as this question and series of answers kept coming up in my searches.
I'm not going to get into the security concerns around how often to update things like your Salt and Initialization Vector - that's a topic for a security forum, and there are some great resources out there to look at. This is simply a block of code to implement AesManaged in C#.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.Text;
namespace Your.Namespace.Security {
public static class Cryptography {
#region Settings
private static int _iterations = 2;
private static int _keySize = 256;
private static string _hash = "SHA1";
private static string _salt = "aselrias38490a32"; // Random
private static string _vector = "8947az34awl34kjq"; // Random
#endregion
public static string Encrypt(string value, string password) {
return Encrypt<AesManaged>(value, password);
}
public static string Encrypt<T>(string value, string password)
where T : SymmetricAlgorithm, new() {
byte[] vectorBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_vector);
byte[] saltBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_salt);
byte[] valueBytes = GetBytes<UTF8Encoding>(value);
byte[] encrypted;
using (T cipher = new T()) {
PasswordDeriveBytes _passwordBytes =
new PasswordDeriveBytes(password, saltBytes, _hash, _iterations);
byte[] keyBytes = _passwordBytes.GetBytes(_keySize / 8);
cipher.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
using (ICryptoTransform encryptor = cipher.CreateEncryptor(keyBytes, vectorBytes)) {
using (MemoryStream to = new MemoryStream()) {
using (CryptoStream writer = new CryptoStream(to, encryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write)) {
writer.Write(valueBytes, 0, valueBytes.Length);
writer.FlushFinalBlock();
encrypted = to.ToArray();
}
}
}
cipher.Clear();
}
return Convert.ToBase64String(encrypted);
}
public static string Decrypt(string value, string password) {
return Decrypt<AesManaged>(value, password);
}
public static string Decrypt<T>(string value, string password) where T : SymmetricAlgorithm, new() {
byte[] vectorBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_vector);
byte[] saltBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_salt);
byte[] valueBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(value);
byte[] decrypted;
int decryptedByteCount = 0;
using (T cipher = new T()) {
PasswordDeriveBytes _passwordBytes = new PasswordDeriveBytes(password, saltBytes, _hash, _iterations);
byte[] keyBytes = _passwordBytes.GetBytes(_keySize / 8);
cipher.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
try {
using (ICryptoTransform decryptor = cipher.CreateDecryptor(keyBytes, vectorBytes)) {
using (MemoryStream from = new MemoryStream(valueBytes)) {
using (CryptoStream reader = new CryptoStream(from, decryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Read)) {
decrypted = new byte[valueBytes.Length];
decryptedByteCount = reader.Read(decrypted, 0, decrypted.Length);
}
}
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
return String.Empty;
}
cipher.Clear();
}
return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(decrypted, 0, decryptedByteCount);
}
}
}
The code is very simple to use. It literally just requires the following:
string encrypted = Cryptography.Encrypt(data, "testpass");
string decrypted = Cryptography.Decrypt(encrypted, "testpass");
By default, the implementation uses AesManaged - but you could actually also insert any other SymmetricAlgorithm. A list of the available SymmetricAlgorithm inheritors for .NET 4.5 can be found at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.cryptography.symmetricalgorithm.aspx
As of the time of this post, the current list includes:
AesManaged
RijndaelManaged
DESCryptoServiceProvider
RC2CryptoServiceProvider
TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider
To use RijndaelManaged with the code above, as an example, you would use:
string encrypted = Cryptography.Encrypt<RijndaelManaged>(dataToEncrypt, password);
string decrypted = Cryptography.Decrypt<RijndaelManaged>(encrypted, password);
I hope this is helpful to someone out there.

Using AES or implementing AES? To use AES, there is the System.Security.Cryptography.RijndaelManaged class.

For a more complete example that performs key derivation in addition to the AES encryption, see the answer and links posted in Getting AES encryption to work across Javascript and C#.

query string parameter obfuscation

I want to obfuscate one query string parameter in ASP.NET. The site will have a high volume of request, so the algorithm shouldn't be too slow.
My problem is that all the algorithms I found result in unwanted characters (like +/=)
Here is an example of what i want to achieve:
www.domain.com/?id=1844
to
www.domain.com/?id=3GQ5DTL3oVd91WsGj74gcQ
The obfuscated param should only include a-z and A-Z and 0-9 characters.
I know I can encrypt using base64, but this will generate unwanted characters such as / or = or +.
Any idea what algorithm can be used?
Update:
I'm aware of UrlEncoding , i want to avoid encoding the string.
because that will generate charaters like %F2 or %B2 in the url.

You can use triple DES to encode the value using a narow block cipher.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
namespace ConsoleApplication1 {
class Program {
static string ToHex(byte[] value) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
foreach (byte b in value)
sb.AppendFormat("{0:x2}", b);
return sb.ToString();
}
static string Encode(long value, byte[] key) {
byte[] InputBuffer = new byte[8];
byte[] OutputBuffer;
unsafe {
fixed (byte* pInputBuffer = InputBuffer) {
((long*)pInputBuffer)[0] = value;
}
}
TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider TDes = new TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider();
TDes.Mode = CipherMode.ECB;
TDes.Padding = PaddingMode.None;
TDes.Key = key;
using (ICryptoTransform Encryptor = TDes.CreateEncryptor()) {
OutputBuffer = Encryptor.TransformFinalBlock(InputBuffer, 0, 8);
}
TDes.Clear();
return ToHex(OutputBuffer);
}
static long Decode(string value, byte[] key) {
byte[] InputBuffer = new byte[8];
byte[] OutputBuffer;
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
InputBuffer[i] = Convert.ToByte(value.Substring(i * 2, 2), 16);
}
TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider TDes = new TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider();
TDes.Mode = CipherMode.ECB;
TDes.Padding = PaddingMode.None;
TDes.Key = key;
using (ICryptoTransform Decryptor = TDes.CreateDecryptor()) {
OutputBuffer = Decryptor.TransformFinalBlock(InputBuffer, 0, 8);
}
TDes.Clear();
unsafe {
fixed (byte* pOutputBuffer = OutputBuffer) {
return ((long*)pOutputBuffer)[0];
}
}
}
static void Main(string[] args) {
long NumberToEncode = (new Random()).Next();
Console.WriteLine("Number to encode = {0}.", NumberToEncode);
byte[] Key = new byte[24];
(new RNGCryptoServiceProvider()).GetBytes(Key);
Console.WriteLine("Key to encode with is {0}.", ToHex(Key));
string EncodedValue = Encode(NumberToEncode, Key);
Console.WriteLine("The encoded value is {0}.", EncodedValue);
long DecodedValue = Decode(EncodedValue, Key);
Console.WriteLine("The decoded result is {0}.", DecodedValue);
}
}
}
The output should be something like this:
Number to encode = 873435734.
Key to encode with is 38137b6a7aa49cc6040c4297064fdb4461c79a895f40b4d1.
The encoded value is 43ba3fb809a47b2f.
The decoded result is 873435734.
Note that the encoded value is only 16 characters wide.
If you're really conserned about abuse, then AES can be used in a similar manner. In the next example I switch in AES and write the 64 bit id number into both sides of the block. If it doesn't decode with the same value on both sides then it is rejected. This can prevent people from writing in random numbers.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
namespace ConsoleApplication1 {
class Program {
static string ToHex(byte[] value) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
foreach (byte b in value)
sb.AppendFormat("{0:x2}", b);
return sb.ToString();
}
static string Encode(long value, byte[] key) {
byte[] InputBuffer = new byte[16];
byte[] OutputBuffer;
unsafe {
fixed (byte* pInputBuffer = InputBuffer) {
((long*)pInputBuffer)[0] = value;
((long*)pInputBuffer)[1] = value;
}
}
AesCryptoServiceProvider Aes = new AesCryptoServiceProvider();
Aes.Mode = CipherMode.ECB;
Aes.Padding = PaddingMode.None;
Aes.Key = key;
using (ICryptoTransform Encryptor = Aes.CreateEncryptor()) {
OutputBuffer = Encryptor.TransformFinalBlock(InputBuffer, 0, 16);
}
Aes.Clear();
return ToHex(OutputBuffer);
}
static bool TryDecode(string value, byte[] key, out long result) {
byte[] InputBuffer = new byte[16];
byte[] OutputBuffer;
for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++) {
InputBuffer[i] = Convert.ToByte(value.Substring(i * 2, 2), 16);
}
AesCryptoServiceProvider Aes = new AesCryptoServiceProvider();
Aes.Mode = CipherMode.ECB;
Aes.Padding = PaddingMode.None;
Aes.Key = key;
using (ICryptoTransform Decryptor = Aes.CreateDecryptor()) {
OutputBuffer = Decryptor.TransformFinalBlock(InputBuffer, 0, 16);
}
Aes.Clear();
unsafe {
fixed (byte* pOutputBuffer = OutputBuffer) {
//return ((long*)pOutputBuffer)[0];
if (((long*)pOutputBuffer)[0] == ((long*)pOutputBuffer)[1]) {
result = ((long*)pOutputBuffer)[0];
return true;
}
else {
result = 0;
return false;
}
}
}
}
static void Main(string[] args) {
long NumberToEncode = (new Random()).Next();
Console.WriteLine("Number to encode = {0}.", NumberToEncode);
byte[] Key = new byte[24];
(new RNGCryptoServiceProvider()).GetBytes(Key);
Console.WriteLine("Key to encode with is {0}.", ToHex(Key));
string EncodedValue = Encode(NumberToEncode, Key);
Console.WriteLine("The encoded value is {0}.", EncodedValue);
long DecodedValue;
bool Success = TryDecode(EncodedValue, Key, out DecodedValue);
if (Success) {
Console.WriteLine("Successfully decoded the encoded value.");
Console.WriteLine("The decoded result is {0}.", DecodedValue);
}
else
Console.WriteLine("Failed to decode encoded value. Invalid result.");
}
}
}
The result should now look something like this:
Number to encode = 1795789891.
Key to encode with is 6c90323644c841a00d40d4407e23dbb2ab56530e1a4bae43.
The encoded value is 731fceec2af2fcc2790883f2b79e9a01.
Successfully decoded the encoded value.
The decoded result is 1795789891.
Also note that since we have now used a wider block cipher the encoded value is now 32 characters wide.

You can use HttpServerUtility.UrlTokenEncode and HttpServerUtility.UrlTokenDecode
Encode uses base64 encoding, but replaces URL unfriendly characters.
There's a similar answer in a previous SO question. See the accepted answer.

So here's a working example that I put together from a few different examples that takes an integer ID and converts it to a hexidecimal formatted encrypted string. This encrypted string should not include URL-unfriendly characters and will not include escaped characters either.
Here's the entire working console app. Please note that it's a prototype and definitely not for production -- this just illustrates a solution and definitely needs to be refactored.
When you run the code, your output should be this:
1234 get encrypted as ZaB5GE/bWMJcNaeY/xJ6PQ==
ZaB5GE/bWMJcNaeY/xJ6PQ== encrypted is this in hex 5a61423547452f62574d4a634e6165592f784a3650513d3d
5a61423547452f62574d4a634e6165592f784a3650513d3d gets dehexed as ZaB5GE/bWMJcNaeY/xJ6PQ==
ZaB5GE/bWMJcNaeY/xJ6PQ== got decrypted as 1234

The problem with obfuscating the id, is that you need a way to de-obfuscicate. This requires either:
Fullblown encryption, which if it's any good will require a pretty large value.
Storing the value along with the id number, so it becomes an alternative identifier.
Something that depends on security-by-obscurity.
Alternatively, keep the id clear, but use a check as well.
public static String ChkSumStr(int id, int reduce)
{
return string.Concat(ReduceStrength(ChkSum(id), reduce).Select(b => b.ToString("X2")).ToArray());
}
public static byte[] ChkSum(int id)
{
byte[] idBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("This is an arbitrary salt" + id);
return SHA256.Create().ComputeHash(idBytes);
}
private static byte[] ReduceStrength(byte[] src, int reduce)
{
byte[] ret = null;
for(int i = 0; i != reduce; ++i)
{
ret = new byte[src.Length / 2];
for(int j = 0; j != ret.Length; ++j)
{
ret[j] = (byte)(src[j * 2] ^ src[j * 2 + 1]);
}
src = ret;
}
return src;
}
The higher the value given for reduce, the smaller the result (until at 6 it keeps producing the empty string). A low value (or 0) gives better security, at the cost of a longer URI.
The string "This is an arbitrary salt" needs to be secret for best security. It can be hardcoded in some uses, but would want to be obtained from a secure source for others.
With the above, an id of 15 and a reduce of 3 produces a result of 05469B1E. We can then use this as:
www.domain.com/?id=15&chk=05469B1E
In the handler that would look up whatever 15 is, we do the same thing again, and if the result is different to 05469B1E we can either return a 403 Forbidden or arguably more reasonable 404 Not Found (on the basis that we've received a URI that as a whole doesn't identify anything).

Have you tried URL encoding your query string text? It's part of the HttpUtility class which:
Provides methods for encoding and
decoding URLs when processing Web
requests.
and should allow you to pass your base64 encoded text in the query string.

Do your encryption and then use HttpServerUtility.UrlTokenEncode() to encode the byte array.

Using AES encryption in C#

I can't seem to find a nice clean example of using AES 128 bit encryption.

I've recently had to bump up against this again in my own project - and wanted to share the somewhat simpler code that I've been using, as this question and series of answers kept coming up in my searches.
I'm not going to get into the security concerns around how often to update things like your Salt and Initialization Vector - that's a topic for a security forum, and there are some great resources out there to look at. This is simply a block of code to implement AesManaged in C#.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.Text;
namespace Your.Namespace.Security {
public static class Cryptography {
#region Settings
private static int _iterations = 2;
private static int _keySize = 256;
private static string _hash = "SHA1";
private static string _salt = "aselrias38490a32"; // Random
private static string _vector = "8947az34awl34kjq"; // Random
#endregion
public static string Encrypt(string value, string password) {
return Encrypt<AesManaged>(value, password);
}
public static string Encrypt<T>(string value, string password)
where T : SymmetricAlgorithm, new() {
byte[] vectorBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_vector);
byte[] saltBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_salt);
byte[] valueBytes = GetBytes<UTF8Encoding>(value);
byte[] encrypted;
using (T cipher = new T()) {
PasswordDeriveBytes _passwordBytes =
new PasswordDeriveBytes(password, saltBytes, _hash, _iterations);
byte[] keyBytes = _passwordBytes.GetBytes(_keySize / 8);
cipher.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
using (ICryptoTransform encryptor = cipher.CreateEncryptor(keyBytes, vectorBytes)) {
using (MemoryStream to = new MemoryStream()) {
using (CryptoStream writer = new CryptoStream(to, encryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Write)) {
writer.Write(valueBytes, 0, valueBytes.Length);
writer.FlushFinalBlock();
encrypted = to.ToArray();
}
}
}
cipher.Clear();
}
return Convert.ToBase64String(encrypted);
}
public static string Decrypt(string value, string password) {
return Decrypt<AesManaged>(value, password);
}
public static string Decrypt<T>(string value, string password) where T : SymmetricAlgorithm, new() {
byte[] vectorBytes = GetBytes<ASCIIEncoding>(_vector);

byte[] decrypted;
int decryptedByteCount = 0;
using (T cipher = new T()) {

byte[] keyBytes = _passwordBytes.GetBytes(_keySize / 8);
cipher.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
try {
using (ICryptoTransform decryptor = cipher.CreateDecryptor(keyBytes, vectorBytes)) {
using (MemoryStream from = new MemoryStream(valueBytes)) {
using (CryptoStream reader = new CryptoStream(from, decryptor, CryptoStreamMode.Read)) {
decrypted = new byte[valueBytes.Length];
decryptedByteCount = reader.Read(decrypted, 0, decrypted.Length);
}
}
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
return String.Empty;
}
cipher.Clear();
}
return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(decrypted, 0, decryptedByteCount);
}
}
}
The code is very simple to use. It literally just requires the following:
string encrypted = Cryptography.Encrypt(data, "testpass");
string decrypted = Cryptography.Decrypt(encrypted, "testpass");
By default, the implementation uses AesManaged - but you could actually also insert any other SymmetricAlgorithm. A list of the available SymmetricAlgorithm inheritors for .NET 4.5 can be found at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.cryptography.symmetricalgorithm.aspx
As of the time of this post, the current list includes:
AesManaged
RijndaelManaged
DESCryptoServiceProvider
RC2CryptoServiceProvider
TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider
To use RijndaelManaged with the code above, as an example, you would use:
string encrypted = Cryptography.Encrypt<RijndaelManaged>(dataToEncrypt, password);
string decrypted = Cryptography.Decrypt<RijndaelManaged>(encrypted, password);
I hope this is helpful to someone out there.

Look at sample in here..
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.cryptography.rijndaelmanaged(v=VS.100).aspx#Y2262
The example on MSDN does not run normally (an error occurs) because there is no initial value of Initial Vector(iv) and Key. I add 2 line code and now work normally.

Using AES or implementing AES? To use AES, there is the System.Security.Cryptography.RijndaelManaged class.

For a more complete example that performs key derivation in addition to the AES encryption, see the answer and links posted in Getting AES encryption to work across Javascript and C#.
EDIT
a side note: Javascript Cryptography considered harmful. Worth the read.

Try this code, maybe useful.
1.Create New C# Project and add follows code to Form1:

{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

string strOriginalData = string.Empty;
string strEncryptedData = string.Empty;
string strDecryptedData = string.Empty;
strOriginalData = "this is original data 1234567890"; // your original data in here
MessageBox.Show("ORIGINAL DATA:\r\n" + strOriginalData);
clsCrypto aes = new clsCrypto();
aes.IV = "this is your IV"; // your IV
aes.KEY = "this is your KEY"; // your KEY
strEncryptedData = aes.Encrypt(strOriginalData, CipherMode.CBC); // your cipher mode
MessageBox.Show("ENCRYPTED DATA:\r\n" + strEncryptedData);
