Asp.Net Encrypt and Decrypt QueryString Parameter Values in C#, VB.NET

By: Suresh Dasari Jun 21, 2016

Introduction:

Here I will explain how to encrypt and decrypt querystring values in asp.net using c#, vb.net with example or asp.net encrypt decrypt querystring values using c#, vb.net with example or encrypting and decrypting querystring values in asp.net using c#, vb.net with example. By using “Cryptography” properties we can encrypt and decrpy querystring values easily in asp.net website using c#, vb.net.

Description:

In previous articles I explained encrypt and decrypt password in sql server, asp.net encrypt and decrypt connection string in web.config file, bind gridview using jquery json method in asp.net, show multiple markers in google map from database in asp.net and many articles relating to gridview, asp.net, c#,vb.net and jQuery. Now I will explain how to get encrypt and decryp querstring values in asp.net using c#, vb.net with example.

To encrypt and decrypt query string values in asp.net we are going to use two pages one is EncryptQueryString.aspx and DecryptQueryString.aspx now open your EncryptQueryString.aspx page and write the following code

EncryptQueryString.aspx

<title>Encrypt and Decrypt QueryString Parameter Values in ASP.NET</title>

</head>

<body>

<div>

UserName : <asp:TextBox ID="txtName" runat="server"/>

UserId : <asp:TextBox ID="txtId" runat="server"/>

<asp:Button ID="btnredirect" Text="Redirect" runat="server" onclick="btnredirect_Click" />

</div>

</form>

</body>

</html>

After completion of aspx page add following namespaces in codebehind file (EncryptQueryString.aspx.cs)

C# Code

using System;

using System.Web;

using System.Text;

using System.IO;

using System.Security.Cryptography;

After adding namespaces write the code like as shown below

protected void btnredirect_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

string userid = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(Encrypt(txtId.Text.Trim()));

string username = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(Encrypt(txtName.Text.Trim()));

Response.Redirect("~/DecryptQueryString.aspx?userid="+userid+"&uname="+username+"");

}

public static string Encrypt(string inputText)

{

string encryptionkey = "SAUW193BX628TD57";

byte[] keybytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(encryptionkey.Length.ToString());

RijndaelManaged rijndaelCipher = new RijndaelManaged();

byte[] plainText = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(inputText);

PasswordDeriveBytes pwdbytes = new PasswordDeriveBytes(encryptionkey, keybytes);

using (ICryptoTransform encryptrans = rijndaelCipher.CreateEncryptor(pwdbytes.GetBytes(32), pwdbytes.GetBytes(16)))

{

using (MemoryStream mstrm = new MemoryStream())

{

using (CryptoStream cryptstm = new CryptoStream(mstrm, encryptrans, CryptoStreamMode.Write))

{

cryptstm.Write(plainText, 0, plainText.Length);

cryptstm.Close();

return Convert.ToBase64String(mstrm.ToArray());

}

VB.NET Code

Imports System.Web

Imports System.Text

Imports System.IO

Imports System.Security.Cryptography

Partial Class VBCode

Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

End Sub

Protected Sub btnredirect_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

Dim userid As String = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(Encrypt(txtId.Text.Trim()))

Dim username As String = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(Encrypt(txtName.Text.Trim()))

Response.Redirect((Convert.ToString((Convert.ToString("~/DecryptQueryString.aspx?userid=") & userid) + "&uname=") & username) + "")

End Sub

Public Shared Function Encrypt(ByVal inputText As String) As String

Dim encryptionkey As String = "SAUW193BX628TD57"

Dim keybytes As Byte() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(encryptionkey.Length.ToString())

Dim rijndaelCipher As New RijndaelManaged()

Dim plainText As Byte() = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(inputText)

Dim pwdbytes As New PasswordDeriveBytes(encryptionkey, keybytes)

Using encryptrans As ICryptoTransform = rijndaelCipher.CreateEncryptor(pwdbytes.GetBytes(32), pwdbytes.GetBytes(16))

Using mstrm As New MemoryStream()

Using cryptstm As New CryptoStream(mstrm, encryptrans, CryptoStreamMode.Write)

cryptstm.Write(plainText, 0, plainText.Length)

cryptstm.Close()

Return Convert.ToBase64String(mstrm.ToArray())

End Using

End Function

End Class

Now open DecryptQueryString.aspx and write the code like as shown below

DecryptQueryString.aspx

<title>Decrypt QueryString in Asp.Net</title>

</head>

<body>

<div>

<b>Decrypted Values:</b><br /><br />

User Name : <asp:Label ID="lblName" runat="server"/>

User Id:<asp:Label ID="lblId" runat="server"/>

</div>

</form>

</body>

</html>

After completion of aspx page add following namespaces in codebehind (DecryptQueryString.aspx.cs)

C# Code

using System;

using System.Web;

using System.Text;

using System.Security.Cryptography;

using System.IO;

After adding namespaces write the code like as shown below

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

string userid = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(Request.QueryString["userid"]);

string username = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(Request.QueryString["uname"]);

lblId.Text = Decrypt(userid);

lblName.Text = Decrypt(username);

}

public static string Decrypt(string encryptText)

{

string encryptionkey = "SAUW193BX628TD57";

byte[] keybytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(encryptionkey.Length.ToString());

RijndaelManaged rijndaelCipher = new RijndaelManaged();

byte[] encryptedData = Convert.FromBase64String(encryptText.Replace(" ", "+"));

PasswordDeriveBytes pwdbytes = new PasswordDeriveBytes(encryptionkey, keybytes);

using (ICryptoTransform decryptrans = rijndaelCipher.CreateDecryptor(pwdbytes.GetBytes(32), pwdbytes.GetBytes(16)))

{

using (MemoryStream mstrm = new MemoryStream(encryptedData))

{

using (CryptoStream cryptstm = new CryptoStream(mstrm, decryptrans, CryptoStreamMode.Read))

{

byte[] plainText = new byte[encryptedData.Length];

int decryptedCount = cryptstm.Read(plainText, 0, plainText.Length);

return Encoding.Unicode.GetString(plainText, 0, decryptedCount);

}

VB.NET Code

Imports System.Web

Imports System.Text

Imports System.IO

Imports System.Security.Cryptography

Partial Class VBCode

Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

Dim userid As String = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(Request.QueryString("userid"))

Dim username As String = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(Request.QueryString("uname"))

lblId.Text = Decrypt(userid)

lblName.Text = Decrypt(username)

End Sub

Public Shared Function Decrypt(ByVal encryptText As String) As String

Dim encryptionkey As String = "SAUW193BX628TD57"

Dim keybytes As Byte() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(encryptionkey.Length.ToString())

Dim rijndaelCipher As New RijndaelManaged()

Dim encryptedData As Byte() = Convert.FromBase64String(encryptText.Replace(" ", "+"))

Dim pwdbytes As New PasswordDeriveBytes(encryptionkey, keybytes)

Using decryptrans As ICryptoTransform = rijndaelCipher.CreateDecryptor(pwdbytes.GetBytes(32), pwdbytes.GetBytes(16))

Using mstrm As New MemoryStream(encryptedData)

Using cryptstm As New CryptoStream(mstrm, decryptrans, CryptoStreamMode.Read)

Dim plainText As Byte() = New Byte(encryptedData.Length - 1) {}

Dim decryptedCount As Integer = cryptstm.Read(plainText, 0, plainText.Length)

Return Encoding.Unicode.GetString(plainText, 0, decryptedCount)

End Using

End Function

End Class
