`EntityFrameworkCore.DataEncryption` is a [Microsoft Entity Framework Core](https://github.com/aspnet/EntityFrameworkCore) extension to add support of encrypted fields using built-in or custom encryption providers.
## Disclaimer
:warning: This project is **not** affiliated with Microsoft. :warning:
This library has been developed initialy for a personal project of mine which suits my use case. It provides a simple way to encrypt column data.
I **do not** take responsability if you use/deploy this in a production environment and loose your encryption key or corrupt your data.
## How to install
Install the package from [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/) or from the `Package Manager Console` :
```powershell
PM> Install-Package EntityFrameworkCore.DataEncryption
```
## Supported types
| Type | Default storage type |
|------|----------------------|
| `string` | Base64 string |
| `byte[]` | BINARY |
## Built-in providers
| Name | Class | Extra |
|------|-------|-------|
| [AES](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/dotnet/api/system.security.cryptography.aes?view=net-6.0) | [AesProvider](https://github.com/Eastrall/EntityFrameworkCore.DataEncryption/blob/main/src/EntityFrameworkCore.DataEncryption/Providers/AesProvider.cs) | Can use a 128bits, 192bits or 256bits key |
## How to use
`EntityFrameworkCore.DataEncryption` supports 2 differents initialization methods:
* Attribute
* Fluent configuration
Depending on the initialization method you will use, you will need to decorate your `string` or `byte[]` properties of your entities with the `[Encrypted]` attribute or use the fluent `IsEncrypted()` method in your model configuration process.
To use an encryption provider on your EF Core model, and enable the encryption on the `ModelBuilder`.
### Example with `AesProvider` and attribute
```csharp
public class UserEntity
{
public int Id { get; set; }
[Encrypted]
public string Username { get; set; }
[Encrypted]
public string Password { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
}
public class DatabaseContext : DbContext
{
// Get key and IV from a Base64String or any other ways.
// You can generate a key and IV using "AesProvider.GenerateKey()"
private readonly byte[] _encryptionKey = ...;
private readonly byte[] _encryptionIV = ...;
private readonly IEncryptionProvider _provider;
public DbSet Users { get; set; }
public DatabaseContext(DbContextOptions options)
: base(options)
{
_provider = new AesProvider(this._encryptionKey, this._encryptionIV);
}
protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.UseEncryption(_provider);
}
}
```
The code bellow creates a new [`AesProvider`](https://github.com/Eastrall/EntityFrameworkCore.DataEncryption/blob/main/src/EntityFrameworkCore.DataEncryption/Providers/AesProvider.cs) and gives it to the current model. It will encrypt every `string` fields of your model that has the `[Encrypted]` attribute when saving changes to database. As for the decrypt process, it will be done when reading the `DbSet` of your `DbContext`.
### Example with `AesProvider` and fluent configuration
```csharp
public class UserEntity
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Username { get; set; }
public string Password { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
}
public class DatabaseContext : DbContext
{
// Get key and IV from a Base64String or any other ways.
// You can generate a key and IV using "AesProvider.GenerateKey()"
private readonly byte[] _encryptionKey = ...;
private readonly byte[] _encryptionIV = ...;
private readonly IEncryptionProvider _provider;
public DbSet Users { get; set; }
public DatabaseContext(DbContextOptions options)
: base(options)
{
_provider = new AesProvider(this._encryptionKey, this._encryptionIV);
}
protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
// Entities builder *MUST* be called before UseEncryption().
var userEntityBuilder = modelBuilder.Entity();
userEntityBuilder.Property(x => x.Username).IsRequired().IsEncrypted();
userEntityBuilder.Property(x => x.Password).IsRequired().IsEncrypted();
modelBuilder.UseEncryption(_provider);
}
}
```
## Create an encryption provider
`EntityFrameworkCore.DataEncryption` gives the possibility to create your own encryption providers. To do so, create a new class and make it inherit from `IEncryptionProvider`. You will need to implement the `Encrypt(string)` and `Decrypt(string)` methods.
```csharp
public class MyCustomEncryptionProvider : IEncryptionProvider
{
public byte[] Encrypt(byte[] input)
{
// Encrypt the given input and return the encrypted data as a byte[].
}
public byte[] Decrypt(byte[] input)
{
// Decrypt the given input and return the decrypted data as a byte[].
}
}
```
To use it, simply create a new `MyCustomEncryptionProvider` in your `DbContext` and pass it to the `UseEncryption` method:
```csharp
public class DatabaseContext : DbContext
{
private readonly IEncryptionProvider _provider;
public DatabaseContext(DbContextOptions options)
: base(options)
{
_provider = new MyCustomEncryptionProvider();
}
protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.UseEncryption(_provider);
}
}
```
