/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Use:



CSXmlEncryption demonstrates how to use .NET built-in classes to encrypt and 

decrypt Xml document:





/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Code Logic:



Use .NET built-in classes to encrypt and decrypt Xml document.



A. Creates a cryptographic provider object which supplies public/private

   key pair.

B. Creates a separate session key using symmetric algorithm.

C. Uses the session key to encrypt the XML document and then uses public key

   of stepA f to encrypt the session key.

D. Saves the encrypted AES session key and the encrypted XML data to the XML

   document within a new <EncryptedData> element.

E. To decrypt the XML element, we retrieve the private key of stepA, use it 

   to decrypt the session key, and then use the session key to decrypt the 

   document.
