Testimonial

"I was looking for a .NET library I could use for projects I was working on involving encryption. I needed to quickly develop proof-of-concept utilities and I found the Kellerman encryption library to be the most complete at any price. I especially like the ease of which the library can be implemented; I was up and running minutes after downloading the product. Thanks for the excellent work."

"Howard Day & Associates uses the Kellerman Encryption Library as part of our suite of offerings for mobile telephone companies. Our company previously licensed Kellerman’s email verification product. We’ve found the software to be stable and the example code to be well documented and most helpful for our development efforts.

Kellerman ranks in the top 1% of software vendors we deal with for software quality, example code thoroughness, and product performance. When we’ve had questions they have been very prompt in responding.

When using this encryption software you meet the following system requirements.

  • Compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and Docker.
  • Compatible with .NET Framework 4.5 and higher, .NET Core 2.0 and higher, Mono 5.4 and higher, Xamarin.iOS 10.14 and higher, Xamarin.Mac 3.8 and higher, Xamarin.Android 8.0 and higher, Universal Windows Platform 10.0.16299 and higher, Unity 2018.1 and higher, .NET 5, and .NET 6.
Using the Kellerman .NET Encryption Library is easy. Instantiate the object and call a method.
//Instantiate the Kellerman Encryption Library
Encryption oEncrypt = new Encryption();

//Encrypt/Decrypt a Visa Credit Card Number
string encryptedString = oEncrypt.EncryptString(EncryptionProvider.Rijndael, "MyPasswordKey" , "4012888818888");
string decryptedString = oEncrypt.DecryptString(EncryptionProvider.Rijndael, "MyPasswordKey" , encryptedString);

//Encrypt/Decrypt a file
oEncrypt.EncryptFile(EncryptionProvider.Rijndael, "MyPasswordKey" , "c:\\testfile.txt" , "c:\\encrypted.txt");
oEncrypt.DecryptFile(EncryptionProvider.Rijndael, "MyPasswordKey" , "c:\\encrypted.txt" , "c:\\decrypted.txt");

//One Way Hash a password 
oEncrypt.HashString(HashProvider.HAVAL, "SecretPassword");

//Compress/Decompress a File
oEncrypt.CompressFile(CompressionType.GZip, "c:\\testfile.txt" , "c:\\testfile.gz");
oEncrypt.DecompressFile(CompressionType.GZip, "c:\\testfile.gz" , "c:\\decompressed.txt");

//Secure erase a file
oEncrypt.SecureFileErase("c:\\decompressed.txt");

Q: How do I use my license key?
A: Encryption oEncrypt = new Encryption("my user name","my license key");

Q: I lost my license key how do I retrieve it?
A: Go to your account

Q: I lost my software how do I retrieve it?
A: Go to downloads

Q: Where can I download the latest version of my software?
A: Click the download tab.

Q: How does the licensing work?
A: Each developer that uses the encryption library must have a license. You may distribute your application to end users royalty free or use it on an unlimited number of servers. A site license is for all the developers in a single building. An enterprise license would be for numerous developers in multiple buildings.

Q: Does the encryption libary work with ASP.NET?
A: Yes, the encryption libary works with any type of .NET project.

Q: What is a salt and do I need to use it?
A: A cryptography salt is combined with a password key to vary the password for encryption or hashing. While not required, it can help better protect your information. For more information see Crypographic Salts

Q: What is an initialization vector?
A: An initilization vector is used as a starting point for encryption streams. It is another way of varying the encryption output. For more information see Initialization Vectors

Q: How can I get the best performance when encrypting?
A: Make an static instance of the encryption libary to use throughout your application.

Q: How do I determine if a file or string is encrypted?
A: Use some sort of prefix such as @ENCRYPTED@ and then remove it before decrypting.

Q: I am receiving the error: Could not load file or assembly 'KellermanEncryptionLibrary A: Do a Clean Solution and Rebuild Solution.

Q: Is the encryption library compatible with COM?
A: No.

Q: Do you plan to add COM support?
A: There are no plans at this time to add COM support.

Q: Does the encryption library support PGP?
A: Not currently, but if we get enough requests for it, we may add it.

Q: Does the encryption library work with .NET 1.1?
A: No.

Q: What happens when the trial expires?
A: An exception is thrown, indicating that the trial is expired.

Q: How can I set key length to 256 bits when using Rijndael or Twofish??
A: The bits are set to the highest possible for every algorithm. If a key is too short, it is padded with zeroes. If it is too long, it is truncated.
