Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to encrypt an XML document using an asymmetric key. This example creates a symmetric session key to encrypt the document and then uses the asymmetric key to embed an encrypted version of the session key into the XML document.

C#

using System;
using System.Xml;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.Security.Cryptography.Xml;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {

        // Create an XmlDocument object.
        XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();

        // Load an XML file into the XmlDocument object.
        try
        {
            xmlDoc.PreserveWhitespace = true;
            xmlDoc.Load("test.xml");
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
            return;
        }

        // Create a new RSA key.  This key will encrypt a symmetric key,
        // which will then be imbedded in the XML document.
        RSA rsaKey = RSA.Create();

        try
        {
            // Encrypt the "creditcard" element.
            Encrypt(xmlDoc, "creditcard", rsaKey, "rsaKey");

            // Display the encrypted XML to the console.
            Console.WriteLine("Encrypted XML:");
            Console.WriteLine();
            Console.WriteLine(xmlDoc.OuterXml);
            xmlDoc.Save("test.xml");

            // Decrypt the "creditcard" element.
            Decrypt(xmlDoc, rsaKey, "rsaKey");
            xmlDoc.Save("test.xml");

            // Display the encrypted XML to the console.
            Console.WriteLine();
            Console.WriteLine("Decrypted XML:");
            Console.WriteLine();

Remarks

The KeyInfoEncryptedKey class wraps the EncryptedKey class, which allows you to add the EncryptedKey class as a subelement of the KeyInfo class. Initialize the KeyInfoEncryptedKey class to an instance of the EncryptedKey class when you need to add an encrypted session key to your encrypted XML document.

Constructors

KeyInfoEncryptedKey()	Initializes a new instance of the KeyInfoEncryptedKey class.
KeyInfoEncryptedKey(EncryptedKey)	Initializes a new instance of the KeyInfoEncryptedKey class using an EncryptedKey object.

Properties

EncryptedKey

Gets or sets an EncryptedKey object that encapsulates an encrypted key.

Methods

GetXml()	Returns an XML representation of a KeyInfoEncryptedKey object.
LoadXml(XmlElement)	Parses the input XmlElement object and configures the internal state of the KeyInfoEncryptedKey object to match.
