Hi,
I have .NET WinForm application in C# and I will make Web application for it using PHP.
I would like to ask what's the best way to encrypt / decrypt user authentication so it wll work on both WinForm and PHP portal?
I am currently using this in C#:
user_password = cipher_utility.Encrypt<RijndaelManaged>(result, "xxxx", "xxxx");
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.IO;
namespace Application_Class_Library
{
public class cipher_utility
{
public static string Encrypt<T>(string value, string password, string salt) where T : SymmetricAlgorithm, new()
{
DeriveBytes rgb = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(password, Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(salt));
SymmetricAlgorithm algorithm = new T();
byte[] rgbKey = rgb.GetBytes(algorithm.KeySize >> 3);
byte[] rgbIV = rgb.GetBytes(algorithm.BlockSize >> 3);
ICryptoTransform transform = algorithm.CreateEncryptor(rgbKey, rgbIV);
using (MemoryStream buffer = new MemoryStream())
{
using (CryptoStream stream = new CryptoStream(buffer, transform, CryptoStreamMode.Write))
{
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(stream, Encoding.Unicode))
{
writer.Write(value);
}
}
return Convert.ToBase64String(buffer.ToArray());
}
}
public static string Decrypt<T>(string text, string password, string salt) where T : SymmetricAlgorithm, new()
{
DeriveBytes rgb = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(password, Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(salt));
SymmetricAlgorithm algorithm = new T();
byte[] rgbKey = rgb.GetBytes(algorithm.KeySize >> 3);
byte[] rgbIV = rgb.GetBytes(algorithm.BlockSize >> 3);
ICryptoTransform transform = algorithm.CreateDecryptor(rgbKey, rgbIV);
using (MemoryStream buffer = new MemoryStream(Convert.FromBase64String(text)))
{
using (CryptoStream stream = new CryptoStream(buffer, transform, CryptoStreamMode.Read))
{
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream, Encoding.Unicode))
{
return reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
}
}
}
}
