KeyStorage Description

A key storage class library based on DPAPI? Why not an easy portable key storage framework to be used with Microsoft .Net 2.0+ and Mono 2.0+ on any platform? The KeyStorage was designed to be a simple open source framework for a transparent portable key storage management in .Net, targetting .Net Framework 2.0+ and Mono 2.0+. Many applications (web browsers, email clients, web applications, network connettivity tools, to name a few) need a way to save and retrieve passwords, connection strings and other secrets (commonly called keys in this context), based on the user's profile. It should not be possible for other users (and in some cases for other applications) to retrieve the stored secrets. This feature is accomplished through standard cryptographic solutions. The big challenge is how to securely store the decryption key needed to decrypt the data when the application needs to retrieve it. Please note that this kind of technology, although suitable for managing passwords and other similar secrets, is not suitable for more complex scenarios, requiring a stronger degree of privacy.
