For john skeet cryptography

[Alen Gurovic]

hello john

i did not saw your messgae

Now i want to set secret key but i do not know how

need help with that code

In sub crypt encrypt text and that is ok
I don't know how to set .key and .IV property
so i want to set my secret key

in other sub decrypt i can't decrypt text


thanks again

Simply use the Key and IV properties.

Note that your code has another problem - you're converting the binary
data to base64, but then when you decode it, you're converting it back
to binary using Encoding.Default. You need to use
Convert.FromBase64String.

One golden rule of this kind of work is to apply the reverse operation
in the reverse order. So in your case, you've got:

Text -> Encoding.Default.GetBytes -> Encryption -> binary -> Base64

To decrypt, you need:

Base64 -> binary -> Decryption -> Encoding.Default.GetString -> Text
