I'm working on a little project for fun. It's a simple application that can encrypt and decrypt files using AES in C#
Now I want to make a custom file extension for the encrypted files. This in it self is easy. But I want it to decrypt to the original file extension so it's usable again.
And when you double click on the encrypted file I want it to open the application asking for the password used to encrypt the file.
Any ideas? And feel free to correct my code.
Here is the code I use to decrypt and encrypt
class Encryption
{
public readonly byte[] salt = new byte[] { 0x20, 0xE0, 0xdc, 0x0E, 0x00,0x70, 0x00, 0x05 };
public const int iterations = 8192;
public void DecryptFile(string sourceFilename, string destinationFilename, string password, byte[] salt, int iterations)
{
AesManaged aes = new AesManaged();
aes.BlockSize = aes.LegalBlockSizes[0].MaxSize;
aes.KeySize = aes.LegalKeySizes[0].MaxSize;
Rfc2898DeriveBytes key = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(password, salt, iterations);
aes.Key = key.GetBytes(aes.KeySize / 8);
aes.IV = key.GetBytes(aes.BlockSize / 8);
aes.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
ICryptoTransform transform = aes.CreateDecryptor(aes.Key, aes.IV);
using (FileStream destination = new FileStream(destinationFilename, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None))
{
using (CryptoStream cryptoStream = new CryptoStream(destination, transform, CryptoStreamMode.Write))
{
try
{
using (FileStream source = new FileStream(sourceFilename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read))
{
source.CopyTo(cryptoStream);
}
}
catch (CryptographicException exception)
{
if (exception.Message == "Padding is invalid and cannot be removed.")
throw new ApplicationException("Universal Microsoft Cryptographic Exception (Not to be believed!)", exception);
else
throw;
}
}
}
}
public void EncryptFile(string sourceFilename, string destinationFilename, string password, byte[] salt, int iterations)
{
AesManaged aes = new AesManaged();
aes.BlockSize = aes.LegalBlockSizes[0].MaxSize;
aes.KeySize = aes.LegalKeySizes[0].MaxSize;
Rfc2898DeriveBytes key = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(password, salt, iterations);
aes.Key = key.GetBytes(aes.KeySize / 8);
aes.IV = key.GetBytes(aes.BlockSize / 8);
aes.Mode = CipherMode.CBC;
ICryptoTransform transform = aes.CreateEncryptor(aes.Key, aes.IV);
using (FileStream destination = new FileStream(destinationFilename, FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None))
{
using (CryptoStream cryptoStream = new CryptoStream(destination, transform, CryptoStreamMode.Write))
{
using (FileStream source = new FileStream(sourceFilename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read))
{
source.CopyTo(cryptoStream);
}
}
}
}
}
