Hi, everybody! My name is Elijah. I've been developing games for the last 10+ years. During this time I have accumulated a lot of different developments that I would like to start sharing, from programming libraries to assets that you can build commercial games around.

This time I'd like to share my thoughts on securing your games, specifically cryptography and hashing. My small Open-Source library - Crypto Library - will help you in this.

Cryptography allows you to encrypt a lot of data both one-way and two-way to protect your data. In games, this could be a save file, or requests sent to/from your web server.

There are hundreds of types of cryptography currently available, but I have focused on the most modern and popular (and will be adding more modern ones to the library as time goes on).

- Encryption and Decryption: AES, Triple DES, BlowFish, Twofish, RSA, DES, Base64, XOR;

- Hashing: SHA, PBKDF2, MD5, xxHash, RIPEMD-160, CRC32;

So, you can encrypt/decrypt your save files and/or webrequests in your games. And how?

string encryptedText = CryptoController.Encrypt("MyTextToEncrypt");

string decryptedText = CryptoController.Decrypt(encryptedText);
