System.Security.Cryptography Namespace

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

The System.Security.Cryptography namespace provides cryptographic services, including secure encoding and decoding of data, as well as many other operations, such as hashing, random number generation, and message authentication.
