      PrintValues( originalData );
   }

Remarks

This class provides access to the Data Protection API (DPAPI) available in Windows operating systems. This is a service that is provided by the operating system and does not require additional libraries. It provides protection using the user or machine credentials to encrypt or decrypt data.

Important

Because it depends on DPAPI, the ProtectedData class is supported on the Windows platform only. Its use on .NET Core on platforms other than Windows throws a PlatformNotSupportedException.

The class consists of two wrappers for the unmanaged DPAPI, Protect and Unprotect. These two methods can be used to encrypt and decrypt data such as passwords, keys, and connection strings.

If you use these methods during impersonation, you may receive the following error: "Key not valid for use in specified state." This occurs because the DPAPI stores the key data in user profiles. If the profile is not loaded, DPAPI won't be able to perform the decryption. To prevent this error, load the profile of the user you want to impersonate before calling either method. Using DPAPI with impersonation can incur significant complication and requires careful design choices.

Methods

Protect(Byte[], Byte[], DataProtectionScope)

Encrypts the data in a specified byte array and returns a byte array that contains the encrypted data.

Unprotect(Byte[], Byte[], DataProtectionScope)

Decrypts the data in a specified byte array and returns a byte array that contains the decrypted data.
