Dev.Util.Security
Encryption, Hashing, and Security utilities for the Dev.Util ecosystem. Perform high-security operations with a simple, readable API.
📦 Installation
dotnet add package Dev.Util.Security
✨ Features
- 🔐 AES Encryption: Strong symmetric encryption for strings and data.
- #️⃣ Secure Hashing:
SHA-256,SHA-512, andMD5(for legacy) hashing. - 📄 Base64 Utility: Safe encoding and decoding for transmission.
- 🛠️ Keys & Salts: Helpers for generating secure keys.
🛠 Usage Examples
1. Simple AES Encryption
Protect sensitive data at rest or in transit.
using Dev.Util.Security;
string secretKey = "32_character_long_secret_key_!!!!"; // 256-bit key
string original = "Sensitive User Data";
// Encrypt to Base64
string encrypted = original.Encrypt(secretKey);
// Decrypt back to original
string decrypted = encrypted.Decrypt(secretKey);
2. Secure Data Hashing
Generate one-way hashes for signatures or integrity checks.
using Dev.Util.Security;
string fileContent = "Important Document Content";
string hash = fileContent.ToSHA256();
// Result: 64-character hex string unique to the input.
if (hash == receivedHash) {
// Data integrity verified
}
3. Base64 Encoding
Safely encode binary data or strings for URL parameters or storage.
using Dev.Util.Security;
string data = "Binary-safe data";
string b64 = data.ToBase64();
// Decode
string original = b64.FromBase64();
4. Legacy Support (MD5)
string checksum = "data".ToMD5(); // Use for legacy checksums only.
For AES encryption, ensure your key is exactly 16, 24, or 32 bytes long for the desired security level (AES-128, 192, or 256).
Never store raw passwords! Use ToSHA512() combined with a unique salt for best practice user security.
