❔ c# .net6 cryptograpy example
Hello.
I'm searching for an example for encryption.
I already looked at: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.security.cryptography.aes?view=net-6.0
I copied the example and I can overwrite the aeskey. However I can only use exactly 32 characters more or less are not allowed.
ofcourse I kan add or remove characters to get to exactly 32. But I search for a good example where you can add any password /. key
Hope some can help
Aes Class (System.Security.Cryptography)
Represents the abstract base class from which all implementations of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) must inherit.

generally you don't use the raw string as a key, rather you derive a hash that is fixed in size from that key then use that as a key
additionally you also "salt" the password - add some extra data that is other than the password you're using so that the original password can be estimated by means of a dictionary attack
Yes, The hash with a fixed length to encrypt and decrypt solved the issue
