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

The following .net code works on Desktop implementation. First add references to Portable.Desktop and Portable.Security.Cryptography.ProtectedData

   private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        String encrypted = PCL.CentralClass.Encrypt("yo");
        String decreypted = PCL.CentralClass.Decrypt(encrypted);
        //PCL.CentralClass.
    }

    //\Source\Portable.Security.Cryptography.ProtectedData\Security\Cryptography\ProtectedData.cs

    static byte[] GetBytes(string str)
    {
        byte[] bytes = new byte[str.Length * sizeof(char)];
        System.Buffer.BlockCopy(str.ToCharArray(), 0, bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
        return bytes;
    }

    static string GetString(byte[] bytes)
    {
        char[] chars = new char[bytes.Length / sizeof(char)];
        System.Buffer.BlockCopy(bytes, 0, chars, 0, bytes.Length);
        return new string(chars);
    }

    public static String Encrypt(String strEncrypt)
    {
        byte[] userData = GetBytes(strEncrypt);
        byte[] optionalEntropy = null;
        byte[] x = System.Security.Cryptography.ProtectedData.Protect(userData, optionalEntropy);
        return GetString(x);
    }
    public static String Decrypt(String strDecrypt)
    {
        byte[] encryptedData = GetBytes(strDecrypt);
        byte[] optionalEntropy = null;
        byte[] x = System.Security.Cryptography.ProtectedData.Unprotect(encryptedData, optionalEntropy);
        return GetString(x); ;
    }
