- encryptedData
- Byte[]
A byte array containing data encrypted using the Protect(Byte[], Byte[], DataProtectionScope) method.
- optionalEntropy
- Byte[]
An optional additional byte array that was used to encrypt the data, or null if the additional byte array was not used.
- scope
- DataProtectionScope
One of the enumeration values that specifies the scope of data protection that was used to encrypt the data.
Returns
Byte[]
A byte array representing the decrypted data.
Exceptions
The encryptedData parameter is null.
The decryption failed.
The operating system does not support this method.
Out of memory.
.NET Core and .NET 5+ only: Calls to the Unprotect method are supported on Windows operating systems only.
Examples
The following code example shows how to use data protection.

Remarks
This method can be used to unprotect data that was encrypted using the Protect method. If the optionalEntropy parameter was used during encryption, it must be supplied to unencrypt the data.
Note
If you use this method during impersonation, you may receive the following error: "Key not valid for use in specified state." To prevent this error, load the profile of the user you want to impersonate before calling the method.
