Procedimiento para usar la protección de datos

Nota

Este artículo se aplica a Windows.

Para obtener más información sobre ASP.NET Core, vea Protección de datos de ASP.NET Core.

.NET proporciona acceso a la API de protección de datos (DPAPI), que permite cifrar datos mediante la información del equipo o la cuenta de usuario actual. Cuando se usa la DPAPI, se alivia el difícil problema de generar y almacenar explícitamente una clave criptográfica.

Use la clase ProtectedData para cifrar una copia de una matriz de bytes. Puede especificar que los datos cifrados por la cuenta de usuario actual solo puedan ser descifrados por la misma cuenta de usuario o que puedan ser descifrados por cualquier cuenta del equipo. Consulte la enumeración DataProtectionScope para obtener una descripción detallada de las opciones de ProtectedData.

Cifrado de datos en un archivo o una secuencia mediante la protección de datos

  1. Cree una entropía aleatoria.

  2. Llame al método Protect estático mientras pasa la matriz de bytes que se vaya a cifrar, la entropía y el ámbito de la protección de datos.

  3. Escriba los datos cifrados en un archivo o en una secuencia.

Para descifrar los datos de un archivo o secuencia usando la protección de datos

  1. Lea los datos cifrados desde un archivo o una secuencia.

  2. Llame al método Unprotect estático mientras pasa la matriz de bytes que se vaya a descifrar y el ámbito de la protección de datos.

Ejemplo

En el siguiente ejemplo de código se muestran dos formas de cifrado y descifrado. En primer lugar, el ejemplo de código cifra y luego descifra la matriz de bytes en memoria. A continuación, el ejemplo de código cifra una copia de una matriz de bytes, la guarda en un archivo, vuelve a cargar los datos del archivo y, a continuación, descifra los datos. El ejemplo muestra los datos originales, los datos cifrados y los datos descifrados.
