MemoryProtectionScope Enumeration
.NET Framework 3.0
Specifies the scope of memory protection to be applied by the Protect method.
Namespace: System.Security.Cryptography
Assembly: System.Security (in system.security.dll)
Assembly: System.Security (in system.security.dll)
| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| CrossProcess | All code in any process can unprotect memory that was protected using the Protect method. | |
| SameLogon | Only code running in the same user context as the code that called the Protect method can unprotect memory. | |
| SameProcess | Only code running in the same process as the code that called the Protect method can unprotect memory. |
The following code example shows how to use data protection.
using System; using System.Security.Cryptography; public class MemoryProtectionSample { // Create aditional entropy for use with the Protect method. static byte [] s_aditionalEntropy = { 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 }; public static void Main() { // Create the original data to be encrypted (The data length should be a multiple of 16). byte [] secret = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4 }; // Encrypt the data in memory. The result is stored in the same same array as the original data. ProtectedMemory.Protect( secret, MemoryProtectionScope.SameLogon ); // Decrypt the data in memory and store in the original array. ProtectedMemory.Unprotect( secret, MemoryProtectionScope.SameLogon ); } }
import System.*;
import System.Security.Cryptography.*;
public class MemoryProtectionSample
{
// Create aditional entropy for use with the Protect method.
private static ubyte sAditionalEntropy[] = { 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 };
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Create the original data to be encrypted (The data length should
// be a multiple of 16).
ubyte secret[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4 };
// Encrypt the data in memory. The result is stored in the same same
// array as the original data.
ProtectedMemory.Protect(secret, MemoryProtectionScope.SameLogon);
// Decrypt the data in memory and store in the original array.
ProtectedMemory.Unprotect(secret, MemoryProtectionScope.SameLogon);
} //main
} //MemoryProtectionSample
