Hello!
I'm working on a fairly simple chat application where I would like to add some more security. As of now the app runs on Azure with a SQL Server database with transparent encryption, I would like to add encryption to messages directly in my application.
I stumbled upon this article that explains how to encrypt/decrypt strings: http://mikaelkoskinen.net/post/encrypt-decrypt-string-asp-net-core and was wondering if this was the best way for my use case: chat with a lot of chat messages (strings) that will need to be fetched and presented, or posted and saved constantly.
Or if there's a nifty better way to achieve this? I am also using Identity for the app, so users are signed in when posting these messages (if that's relevant).
Thanks in advance for any hints!
