AesCryptoServiceProvider Support

Question

User-1611427098 posted

Hi All,

We are developing encryption process in a asp.net application, we have chosen to use AesCryptoServiceProvider class. But we saw in MSDN "The CAPI implementations are available on older operating systems, and are no longer being developed."
(https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0ss79b2x(v=vs.110).aspx), not sure what does that mean.

Is it safe to use this class now for development.

Thanks,
Satheesh

Hi Satheesh,

It means CAPI implementations only are available on older operating systems. CNG is the very latest implementation where new development will take place. So, you could use CNG with your development now.

HI Candice,

Thanks for the reply, I read about CNG, but couldn't find any samples with ASP.Net, not sure how to implement it. Do you have any links or sample which directs me to there?

Thanks,
