I’ve put together this article because even after a lot of searching, I wasn’t able to find a simple, working example of how to encrypt and then decrypt a string that you are saving in your database in ASP.Net. Sure, there are some partial examples, but partial code usually doesn’t answer the question properly. Added to that, a lot of examples are out there that plain don’t work, confusing the issue and wasting a lot of time.
