The ICryptoTransform interface represents blockwise cryptographic transformation which could be an encryption, ecryption, hashing, Base64 encoding/decoding, or formatting operation. You can create an ICryptoTransform object for a given algorithm by using the:
– CreateEncryptor() method – if you want to encrypt data.
– CreateDecryptor() method – if you want to encrypt data.
The next code lines illustrate this approach:
TripleDES crypt = TripleDES.Create();
ICryptoTransform transform = crypt.CreateEncryptor();
