This PR fixes #28 and #33.
PR #29 broke some crypto functionality by using the
*CryptoServiceProvider
APIs.The initial exception reported in #33 shows that an IV is expected because the overloaded function was expected. Explicitly passing the IV resolved that exception. After further testing, despite the
*Managed
and*CryptoServiceProvider
APIs supposedly being interchangeable, something is breaking internally, which I could not resolve.The reason for this change, as mentioned in PR #29, was to use FIPS-compliant algorithms on hosts that enforce FIPS. The
*CryptoServiceProvider
APIs are "somewhat" FIPS-compliant so, in theory, this is could work. However, these APIs broke functionality.The other option is to disable the enforcement of FIPS in the application's config file:
app.config
.This PR revers back to the
*Managed
APIs and disables enforcement of FIPS.
