(C#) Transition from RandomizeKey to GenRandomBytesENC

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated RandomizeKey method calls with GenRandomBytesENC.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Chilkat .NET Downloads Chilkat .NET Framework Chilkat for .NET Core

Chilkat.Crypt2 crypt = new Chilkat.Crypt2();

crypt.CryptAlgorithm = "aes";
crypt.CipherMode = "cbc";
crypt.KeyLength = 256;
// ...

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The RandomizeKey method is deprecated:

// Generates and sets a random 32-byte (256-bit) secret key.
crypt.RandomizeKey();

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Do the equivalent using GenRandomBytesENC followed by SetEncodedKey

crypt.EncodingMode = "base64";
string randomKeyBase64 = crypt.GenRandomBytesENC(32);
crypt.SetEncodedKey(randomKeyBase64,"base64");
