In this chapter, we will cover some of the most important cryptography libraries that can be used within .NET and C# applications. Choosing a cryptography library, especially one that is open source, represents a sensitive task compared to the .NET Framework itself. You need to be sure of what you are doing and know what kind of data you are using. Relying upon an open source project for a security aspect could lead to significant security incidents if there are bugs ...
