AESProject

AESProject is a simple console application that demonstrates the use of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for encrypting and decrypting messages in C#. This project is part of the basic cryptography programming projects.

Prerequisites

• .NET SDK 8.0 or later

Setup

1. Required packages:

   dotnet restore

Build and Run

To build and run the project, use the following commands:

dotnet build
dotnet run

Usage

When you run the application, it will prompt you to enter a message that needs to be encrypted. The application will then encrypt the message using AES and display the encrypted message.

Project Structure

AESProject.csproj

: Project file containing project configuration and dependencies.

Program.cs

: Main program file containing the AES encryption logic.

• bin/: Directory containing the compiled binaries.
• obj/: Directory containing temporary object files and build artifacts.

Dependencies

The project uses the following NuGet packages:

System.Security.Cryptography.Algorithms

(Version 4.3.1)

System.Security.Cryptography.Primitives

(Version 4.3.0)

Notes

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a widely used encryption algorithm trusted by the U.S. Government and numerous organizations. It is highly efficient in 128-bit form and also supports 192 and 256-bit keys for more secure encryption.
