- How to: Encrypt XML Elements with Symmetric Keys
Describes how to encrypt an XML element using the Rijndael algorithm.
- How to: Decrypt XML Elements with Symmetric Keys
Describes how to decrypt an XML element that was encrypted using the Rijndael algorithm.
- How to: Encrypt XML Elements with Asymmetric Keys
Describes how to encrypt an XML element using the RSA algorithm.
- How to: Decrypt XML Elements with Asymmetric Keys
Describes how to decrypt an XML element using the RSA algorithm.
- How to: Encrypt XML Elements with X.509 Certificates
Describes how to encrypt an XML element using an X.509 certificate from a certificate store.
