Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the AesManaged constructor when you encrypt an isolated storage file. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the AesManaged class.

Using aes = New System.Security.Cryptography.AesManaged()
    Dim deriveBytes As New Rfc2898DeriveBytes(passwordBox.Password, Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(PasswordSalt))
    aes.Key = deriveBytes.GetBytes(128 / 8)
    If Integer.MaxValue = Int64.MaxValue Then intSize = 8
    isoStoreStream.Write(BitConverter.GetBytes(aes.IV.Length), 0, intSize)
    isoStoreStream.Write(aes.IV, 0, aes.IV.Length)
    Using cs As New CryptoStream(isoStoreStream, aes.CreateEncryptor(), CryptoStreamMode.Write)
        Dim rawPlaintext As Byte() = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(inputBox.Text)
        cs.Write(rawPlaintext, 0, rawPlaintext.Length)
        cs.FlushFinalBlock()
    End Using
End Using

using (Aes aes = new AesManaged())
{
    Rfc2898DeriveBytes deriveBytes = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(passwordBox.Password, Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(PasswordSalt));
    aes.Key = deriveBytes.GetBytes(128 / 8);
    isoStoreStream.Write(BitConverter.GetBytes(aes.IV.Length), 0, sizeof(int));
    isoStoreStream.Write(aes.IV, 0, aes.IV.Length);

    using (CryptoStream cs = new CryptoStream(isoStoreStream, aes.CreateEncryptor(), CryptoStreamMode.Write))
    {
        byte[] rawPlaintext = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(inputBox.Text);
        cs.Write(rawPlaintext, 0, rawPlaintext.Length);
        cs.FlushFinalBlock();
    }
}
