Remarks

The RC2CryptoServiceProvider implementation supports key lengths from 40 bits to 128 bits in increments of 8 bits.

The RC2CryptoServiceProvider object is a block cipher that encrypts and decrypts data in blocks of 8 bytes. This class pads the final block of data if it is less than 8 bytes. As a result of this padding, the length of encrypted data could be greater than the original plaintext.

Note that the RC2CryptoServiceProvider object does not use salt.

Note

A newer symmetric encryption algorithm, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), is available. Consider using the Aes algorithm and its derived classes instead of the RC2CryptoServiceProvider class. Use RC2CryptoServiceProvider only for compatibility with legacy applications and data.
