Secure Data at Rest for C# Applications
In this lab, you’ll practice securing data for storage in C# using modern security techniques such as encryption, hashing with salt, and environment variables. This will allow you to build applications that meet modern security compliance requirements and standards. When you’re finished, you’ll have the ability to build applications that can securely store data using industry best practices.
