Remarks

The EncryptedXml class is the main class used for XML encryption in the .NET Framework. XML Encryption is a standards-based, interoperable way to encrypt all or part of an XML document or any arbitrary data. The .NET Framework XML encryption classes implement the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) XML Encryption Syntax and Processing Version 1.0 specification.

Use the EncryptedXml class whenever you need to share encrypted XML data between applications or organizations in a standard way. Any data encrypted using this class can be decrypted by any implementation of the W3C specification for XML encryption.

XML encryption replaces any plain text XML element or document with the <EncryptedData> element, which contains an encrypted (or cipher text) representation of plain text XML or any arbitrary data. The <EncryptedData> element can optionally contain information about where to find a key that will decrypt the cipher text, and which cryptographic algorithm was used to encrypt the plain text.

The <EncryptedKey> element is similar to the <EncryptedData> element in style and usage, except that it allows you to encrypt a key that will decrypt the value of the <EncryptedData> element. Note that the <EncryptedKey> element and the <EncryptedData> element will never contain an unencrypted key.

Use one of the following methods to exchange key information:

  • Do not include any key information. If you choose this option, both parties must agree on an algorithm and key before they exchange encrypted data.

  • Include the location of the key in the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) attribute of the <RetrievalMethod> element. Both parties must agree on the key location ahead of time and this location must be kept secret.

  • Include a string name that maps to a key in the <KeyName> element. Both parties must agree on the key name mapping before they exchange encrypted data and this mapping must be kept secret.

  • Include an encrypted key in the <EncryptedKey> element. Both parties must agree on the key that decrypts the encrypted key before they exchange encrypted data. You can optionally include a name or location of the key that will decrypt the key in the <EncryptedKey> element.

Gets or sets the XML digital signature recursion depth to prevent infinite recursion and stack overflow. This might happen if the digital signature XML contains the URI which then points back to the original XML.

Methods

AddKeyNameMapping(String, Object)

Defines a mapping between a key name and a symmetric key or an asymmetric key.

ClearKeyNameMappings()

Resets all key name mapping.

DecryptData(EncryptedData, SymmetricAlgorithm)

Decrypts an <EncryptedData> element using the specified symmetric algorithm.

DecryptDocument()

Decrypts all <EncryptedData> elements of the XML document that were specified during initialization of the EncryptedXml class.

DecryptEncryptedKey(EncryptedKey)

Determines the key represented by the EncryptedKey element.

DecryptKey(Byte[], RSA, Boolean)

Decrypts an <EncryptedKey> element using an asymmetric algorithm.

DecryptKey(Byte[], SymmetricAlgorithm)

Decrypts an <EncryptedKey> element using a symmetric algorithm.

Encrypt(XmlElement, String)

Encrypts the outer XML of an element using the specified key in the key mapping table.

Encrypt(XmlElement, X509Certificate2)

Encrypts the outer XML of an element using the specified X.509 certificate.

EncryptData(Byte[], SymmetricAlgorithm)

Encrypts data in the specified byte array using the specified symmetric algorithm.

EncryptData(XmlElement, SymmetricAlgorithm, Boolean)

Encrypts the specified element or its contents using the specified symmetric algorithm.

EncryptKey(Byte[], RSA, Boolean)

Encrypts the key that a recipient uses to decrypt an <EncryptedData> element.

EncryptKey(Byte[], SymmetricAlgorithm)

Encrypts a key using a symmetric algorithm that a recipient uses to decrypt an <EncryptedData> element.

(Inherited from Object)
ReplaceData(XmlElement, Byte[])

Replaces an <EncryptedData> element with a specified decrypted sequence of bytes.

ReplaceElement(XmlElement, EncryptedData, Boolean)

Replaces the specified element with the specified EncryptedData object.

ToString()

Returns a string that represents the current object.

(Inherited from Object)
