    SecureStringDecryptor Class
    In This Topic
    This class assists the use of System.Security.SecureString instances.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
 

    Public Class SecureStringDecryptor 
   Inherits System.Runtime.ConstrainedExecution.CriticalFinalizerObject
    public class SecureStringDecryptor : System.Runtime.ConstrainedExecution.CriticalFinalizerObject
    Remarks
    Normally, the content of a System.Security.SecureString instance can only be read in unmnanaged code. This class decrypts the contents of a SecureString to a System.Byte array, which is pinned in memory until it is released. When the dispose method is called, the array is zeroed-out.
    Example
    You should use this class like in this example, and only for the shortest period of time necessary: 
    Rijndael aes = Rijndael.Create();
DeriveBytes db;
using (SecureStringDecryptor helper = new SecureStringDecryptor(secretString)) {
    db = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(helper.Password, salt, 1024);
}
ICryptoTransform transform = aes.CreateEncryptor(db.GetBytes(16), aes.GenerateIV());
