What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the critical need to protect sensitive data within ASP.NET Core applications, ensuring compliance and user privacy through robust encryption, secure key management, and time-limited data handling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Data Encryption: Encrypts sensitive data at rest (e.g., in databases) and in transit.
  • Key Management: Provides patterns for secure key storage, rotation, and protection across various environments (file system, Azure Blob Storage, Azure Key Vault, Redis).
  • Time-Limited Tokens: Generates and validates tokens with built-in expiration for secure operations like password resets and email confirmations.
  • Session Security: Protects sensitive information stored in user sessions.
  • Use Case: Securely store credit card numbers in a database by encrypting them using the ASP.NET Core Data Protection API, while only storing the last four digits in plain text for display.

Quick Start

Configure ASP.NET Core Data Protection to persist keys to Azure Blob Storage and protect them with Azure Key Vault.

FAQPage Schema
How do I encrypt sensitive data at rest in an ASP.NET Core application?

You can encrypt sensitive data at rest in ASP.NET Core using Data Protection API patterns to encrypt database fields while keeping only partial plain text for display. This ensures compliance and user privacy through robust encryption.

What's the best way to manage encryption keys for ASP.NET Core Data Protection across different environments?

ASP.NET Core Data Protection supports secure key storage and rotation across file system, Azure Blob Storage, Azure Key Vault, and Redis. Configuring these storage mechanisms ensures encryption keys are persisted and protected appropriately for your environment.

How do I generate time-limited tokens for password resets in ASP.NET Core?

Generate time-limited tokens for password resets in ASP.NET Core using Data Protection API patterns that build expiration into the payload. The API validates these time-limited tokens for secure operations like email confirmations and resets.

Does ASP.NET Core Data Protection work with Redis for key storage?

Yes, ASP.NET Core Data Protection works with Redis for key storage. It provides configuration patterns for persisting and protecting encryption keys across Redis, alongside file system, Azure Blob Storage, and Azure Key Vault options.

What are common key management anti-patterns when using ASP.NET Core Data Protection?

Common key management anti-patterns in ASP.NET Core Data Protection include improper key storage and unsafe encryption practices. The Skill addresses these anti-patterns by providing secure key rotation, storage, and protection patterns across supported environments.

Can I use ASP.NET Core Data Protection to secure sensitive session data?

Yes, you can use ASP.NET Core Data Protection to secure sensitive session data. It provides specific patterns for protecting sensitive information stored in user sessions, ensuring data remains encrypted and secure during transit and at rest.
