Introduction
Welcome to IPWorks Encrypt, a powerful suite of cryptography components that enable developers to easily add strong encryption capabilities to any application. Encrypt and decrypt files, emails, documents, and messages through major cryptographic standards, including AES, ECC, RSA, ElGamal, ChaCha, TwoFish and more. Complete with X.509 certificate management.
lib\net40\nsoftware.IPWorksEncrypt.dll is designed for use in .NET Framework 4.0 and up. This library maintains a familiar API in line with previous versions of the product.
-
lib\net6.0\nsoftware.IPWorksEncrypt.dll is designed for use in .NET 6 and up. The .NET 6 library provides cross-platform support while maintaining the same API as the .NET Framework version of the library.
Support for asynchronous programming patterns (async/await) is exposed in a separate nsoftware.async.IPWorksEncrypt namespace. See the Async Functionality page for details.
lib\netstandard2.0\nsoftware.IPWorksEncrypt.dll is designed for use in .NET Standard 2.0 and up. The .NET Standard library provides cross-platform support for legacy projects.
