下面的代码是Ghazal回答类似问题的改进版本。

        aesEncryptor.Key = pdb.GetBytes(32);
        aesEncryptor.IV = pdb.GetBytes(16);
    }

    public string EncryptString(string clearText, string key)
    {

一个安全散列数据的好算法是BCrypt:

除了加入盐来抵御彩虹桌的攻击， Bcrypt是一个自适应函数:随着时间的推移，迭代计数可以 增加使它变慢，所以它仍然抵抗蛮力 搜索攻击，即使增加计算能力。

BCrypt有一个很好的。net实现，也可以作为NuGet包使用。

下面是一个使用RSA的例子。

重要:使用RSA加密KeySize - MinimumPadding加密的数据大小是有限制的。例如256字节(假设2048位密钥)- 42字节(最小OEAP填充)= 214字节(最大明文大小)

用RSA密钥替换your_rsa_key。

var provider = new System.Security.Cryptography.RSACryptoServiceProvider();
provider.ImportParameters(your_rsa_key);

var encryptedBytes = provider.Encrypt(
    System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Hello World!"), true);

string decryptedTest = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(
    provider.Decrypt(encryptedBytes, true));

支持mattmanser的回答。下面是一个使用MachineKey类加密/解密URL安全值的示例。

Something to bear in mind, as mentioned before, this will use Machine config settings (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff649308.aspx). You can set encryption and decryption key/algorithm manually (you might need this specially if your site is running on multiple servers) in web.config file. You can generate keys from IIS (see here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vijaysk/2009/05/13/iis-7-tip-10-you-can-generate-machine-keys-from-the-iis-manager/) or can use an online machine key generator like: http://www.developerfusion.com/tools/generatemachinekey/
