The Org.Mentalis.Security namespace provides access to several classes related to cryptographic transformations such as encryption and hashing.
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
| ARCFourManaged | Accesses the managed version of the ARCFour algorithm. This class cannot be inherited. ARCFour is fully compatible with the RC4TM algorithm. |
| DataProtectionCryptoServiceProvider |
The DataProtectionCryptoServiceProvider is a class that performs encryption and decryption on data without explicitly requiring a password.
There are two different types of encryption. The first type will associate the encrypted data with the logon credentials of the current user. Hence only a user with matching logon credentials can decrypt the data. The second type will associate the encrypted data with the local machine. Any user of a specific machine will be able to decrypt encrypted data under this scheme. This class cannot be inherited. |
| HMAC | Implements the HMAC keyed message authentication code algorithm. |
| MD2 | Represents the abstract class from which all implementations of the MD2 hash algorithm inherit. |
| MD2CryptoServiceProvider | Computes the MD2 hash for the input data using the implementation provided by the cryptographic service provider (CSP). |
| RC4 | Represents the base class from which all implementations of the RC4 symmetric stream cipher must inherit. |
| RC4CryptoServiceProvider | Defines a wrapper object to access the cryptographic service provider (CSP) version of the RC4 algorithm. This class cannot be inherited. |
| RijndaelCryptoServiceProvider | Accesses the unmanaged version of the Rijndael algorithm. This class cannot be inherited. |
| RIPEMD160 | Represents the abstract class from which all implementations of the RIPEMD160 hash algorithm inherit. |
| RIPEMD160Managed | Computes the MD2 hash for the input data using the implementation provided by the cryptographic service provider (CSP). |
| Enumeration | Description |
|---|---|
| ProtectionType | Specifies the type of encryption method to use when protecting data. |
