I want to generate a cypher text by using DpapiProtectedConfigurationProvider. All the codes I am seeing on the internet are do this inside a app.config. I know it is the reason this is originally build for. But I have a different usage. I have interface where user has to enter the text in a textbox and with a a click of button I need to generate the cpher text by using DpapiProtectedConfigurationProvider. How to achieve this?
Currently I am generating this inside the app.config by using following code. But this is not what I want
Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
//Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(exefilePath);
ConfigurationSection section = config.GetSection(sectionKey);
if (section != null)
{
if (section.ElementInformation.IsLocked)
{
Console.WriteLine("Section: {0} is locked", sectionKey);
}
else
{
if (!section.SectionInformation.IsProtected)
{
//%windir%\system32\Microsoft\Protect\S-1-5-18
section.SectionInformation.ProtectSection("DataProtectionConfigurationProvider");
section.SectionInformation.ForceSave = true;
Console.WriteLine("Encrypting: {0} {1}", section.SectionInformation.Name, section.SectionInformation.SectionName);
}
else
{ // display values for current config application name value pairs
//
section.SectionInformation.UnprotectSection();
section.SectionInformation.ForceSave = true;
Console.WriteLine("Decrypting: {0} {1}", section.SectionInformation.Name, section.SectionInformation.SectionName);
}
}
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Section: {0} is null", sectionKey);
}
//
config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Full);
Console.WriteLine("Saving file: {0}", config.FilePath);
How I do this?
