Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to encrypt and decrypt an XML element using the EncryptedData class that derives from the EncryptedType class.

Remarks

The <CipherData> element is a required element in XML encryption that provides the encrypted data. It must either contain the encrypted octet sequence as the base64-encoded text of the CipherValue property, or provide a reference to an external location containing the encrypted octet sequence using the CipherReference property.

For more information about this element, see CipherData.
