Portable Class Library (PCL) Contrib - Cryptography

Question

I want to use the cryptography in the Portable Class Library Contrib project on codeplex but have not found any documentation on how I can use it.

I want to create a wra

Answer 1

It turns out that my generic wrapper for the cryptography algorithms was causing a problem. PCL Contrib contains a class called SymmetricAlgorithm which is itself a wrapper for the real SymmetricAlgorithm. If I make my wrapper class non-generic it works like this:

public sealed class AesManagedSymmetricCryptography : SymmetricCryptography
{
    #region Constructors

    public AesManagedSymmetricCryptography()
    {
    }

    public AesManagedSymmetricCryptography(byte[] key, byte[] iv)
        : base(key, iv)
    {
    }

    public AesManagedSymmetricCryptography(string password, string salt)
        : base(password, salt)
    {
    }

    public AesManagedSymmetricCryptography(string password, string salt, int iterations)
        : base(password, salt, iterations)
    {
    }

    #endregion
}
