Is there a C# SecureString equivalent in C++?

问题

I have a SecureString in my C# code that I need to pass into a DLL. I would prefer to not do a Marshalling as it seems that when this occurs the SecureString is unencrypted (and hence not secure anymore). So the question is whether or not there is a C# SecureString equivalent in C++ so that I can pass the SecureString from my C# code into the C++ DLL ... or if there is a better/different way such that I do not need to unencrypt the SecureString to pass it to the DLL.

回答1:

Assuming your C++ compiler target the Common Language Runtime (CLR), you can use the same SecureString implementation.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Security;

int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
   // Define the string value to assign to a new secure string.
   Char chars[4] = { 't', 'e', 's', 't' };
   // Instantiate the secure string.
   SecureString^ testString = gcnew SecureString();
   // Assign the character array to the secure string.
   for each (Char ch in chars)
   {
      testString->AppendChar(ch);
   }   
   // Display secure string length.
   Console::WriteLine("The length of the string is {0} characters.", 
                        testString->Length);

   delete testString;
   return 0;
}
// The example displays the following output:
//      The length of the string is 4 characters 4 characters
