Cryptographic TasksĀ 

The System.Security.Cryptography namespace contains classes that allow you to perform both symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, create hashes, and provide random number generation. Successful cryptography is the result of combining these tasks. This section describes the key cryptographic tasks that you can perform to create a cryptographic scheme.

In This Section

  • Cryptographic Services
    Provides an overview of cryptography and explains how to perform cryptography with the .NET Framework.
  • Configuring Cryptography Classes
    Describes how to map algorithm names to cryptographic classes and how to map object identifiers to a cryptographic algorithm.
