Constructor & Destructor Documentation

secure_string() [1/2]

xtd::security::secure_string::secure_string ( )

default

Initializes a new instance of the xtd::security::secure_string class.

secure_string() [2/2]

xtd::security::secure_string::secure_string	(	const char	value[],
		size_t	length
	)

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Initializes a new instance of the xtd::security::secure_string class from a subarray of System.Char objects.

Parameters

value	A pointer to an array of char.
length	The number of elements of value to include in the new instance.

Remarks

This constructor initializes the new xtd::security::secure_string object to the number of characters in value specified by length; the value of the instance is then encrypted.

Member Function Documentation

data()

intptr xtd::security::secure_string::data ( ) const

noexcept

Gets underlying encrypted data.

Returns

The underlying encrypted data.

size()

size_t xtd::security::secure_string::size ( ) const

noexcept

Gets underlying encrypted data size.

Returns

The underlying encrypted data size.

to_unsecure_string()

std::string xtd::security::secure_string::to_unsecure_string ( ) const

noexcept

Gets decrypted data.

A encrypted byte array.

Warning

This is a more convenient but less secure alternative to using xtd::security::secure_string::data.
