How can I implement encryption in ASP.NET MVC?

You can implement encryption in ASP.NET MVC by using the built-in data protection APIs or by utilizing libraries like AES for encrypting sensitive data.

What types of data should I encrypt?

You should encrypt sensitive data such as passwords, personal information, and any confidential business data.

Can you show me a code example for encrypting a string?

Sure! Here's a simple example using AES:

using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.Text;

public string EncryptString(string plainText, string key)
{
    using (Aes aes = Aes.Create())
    {
        aes.Key = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key);
        aes.GenerateIV();
        // Encrypt the string
    }
}

How do I securely store the encryption key?

You should store the encryption key in a secure location, such as Azure Key Vault or use environment variables to keep it safe.
