    XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
    xmlDoc.PreserveWhitespace = true;
    xmlDoc.LoadXml("<EncryptedData>" +
        encryptedData + "</EncryptedData>");

    return xmlDoc.DocumentElement;
}

' Performs encryption.
Public Overrides Function Encrypt( _
ByVal node As XmlNode) As XmlNode
    Dim encryptedData As String = _
    EncryptString(node.OuterXml)

    Dim xmlDoc As New XmlDocument()
    xmlDoc.PreserveWhitespace = True
    xmlDoc.LoadXml( _
    ("<EncryptedData>" + encryptedData + _
