Definition

Caution

Derived cryptographic types are obsolete. Use the Create method on the base type instead.

Defines a wrapper object to access the cryptographic service provider (CSP) version of the Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm. This class cannot be inherited.

Examples

The following code example uses DESCryptoServiceProvider (an implementation of DES) with the specified key (Key) and initialization vector (IV) to encrypt a file specified by inName. It then outputs the encrypted result to the file specified by outName.

void EncryptData( String^ inName, String^ outName, array<Byte>^desKey, array<Byte>^desIV )
{
   
   //Create the file streams to handle the input and output files.
   FileStream^ fin = gcnew FileStream( inName,FileMode::Open,FileAccess::Read );
   FileStream^ fout = gcnew FileStream( outName,FileMode::OpenOrCreate,FileAccess::Write );
   fout->SetLength( 0 );
   
   //Create variables to help with read and write.
   array<Byte>^bin = gcnew array<Byte>(100);
   long rdlen = 0; //This is the total number of bytes written.

   long totlen = (long)fin->Length; //This is the total length of the input file.

   int len; //This is the number of bytes to be written at a time.

   DES^ des = gcnew DESCryptoServiceProvider;
   CryptoStream^ encStream = gcnew CryptoStream( fout,des->CreateEncryptor( desKey, desIV ),CryptoStreamMode::Write );
   Console::WriteLine( "Encrypting..." );
   
   //Read from the input file, then encrypt and write to the output file.
   while ( rdlen < totlen )
   {
      len = fin->Read( bin, 0, 100 );
      encStream->Write( bin, 0, len );
      rdlen = rdlen + len;
      Console::WriteLine( "{0} bytes processed", rdlen );
   }

   encStream->Close();
   fout->Close();
   fin->Close();
}
private static void EncryptData(string inName, string outName, byte[] desKey, byte[] desIV)
 {
     //Create the file streams to handle the input and output files.
     FileStream fin = new FileStream(inName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
     FileStream fout = new FileStream(outName, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write);
     fout.SetLength(0);

     //Create variables to help with read and write.
     byte[] bin = new byte[100]; //This is intermediate storage for the encryption.
     long rdlen = 0;              //This is the total number of bytes written.
     long totlen = fin.Length;    //This is the total length of the input file.
     int len;                     //This is the number of bytes to be written at a time.

     DES des = new DESCryptoServiceProvider();
     CryptoStream encStream = new CryptoStream(fout, des.CreateEncryptor(desKey, desIV), CryptoStreamMode.Write);

     Console.WriteLine("Encrypting...");

     //Read from the input file, then encrypt and write to the output file.
     while(rdlen < totlen)
     {
         len = fin.Read(bin, 0, 100);
         encStream.Write(bin, 0, len);
         rdlen = rdlen + len;
         Console.WriteLine("{0} bytes processed", rdlen);
     }

     encStream.Close();
     fout.Close();
     fin.Close();
 }
Private Shared Sub EncryptData(inName As String, outName As String, _
desKey() As Byte, desIV() As Byte)

    'Create the file streams to handle the input and output files.
    Dim fin As New FileStream(inName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
    Dim fout As New FileStream(outName, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, _
       FileAccess.Write)
    fout.SetLength(0)
    
    'Create variables to help with read and write.
    Dim bin(4096) As Byte 'This is intermediate storage for the encryption.
    Dim rdlen As Long = 0 'This is the total number of bytes written.
    Dim totlen As Long = fin.Length 'Total length of the input file.
    Dim len As Integer 'This is the number of bytes to be written at a time.
    Dim des As New DESCryptoServiceProvider()
    Dim encStream As New CryptoStream(fout, _
       des.CreateEncryptor(desKey, desIV), CryptoStreamMode.Write)
    
    Console.WriteLine("Encrypting...")
    
    'Read from the input file, then encrypt and write to the output file.
    While rdlen < totlen
        len = fin.Read(bin, 0, 4096)
        encStream.Write(bin, 0, len)
        rdlen = Convert.ToInt32(rdlen + len / des.BlockSize * des.BlockSize)
        Console.WriteLine("Processed {0} bytes, {1} bytes total", len, _
           rdlen)
    End While
    
    encStream.Close()
End Sub

Decryption can be handled in the same way; use CreateDecryptor instead of CreateEncryptor. The same key (Key) and initialization vector (IV) used to encrypt the file must be used to decrypt it.

Remarks

This algorithm supports a key length of 64 bits.

Important

A newer symmetric encryption algorithm, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), is available. Consider using the Aes class instead of the DES class. Use DES only for compatibility with legacy applications and data.
