Chilkat C# Crypt2 vs .NET framework encryption

Question

anyone out there who has used Chilkat C# Crypt2 library? How does it compare with the .NET framework encryption library? Any pros/cons?

Answer 1

I'd kill for public string CryptAlgorithm {get; set; } (here) because of

Selects the encryption algorithm for encrypting and decrypting. Possible values are: "pki", "aes", "rijndael", "blowfish", "blowfish2", "des", "3des", "rc2", "arc4", "twofish", "pbes1" and "pbes2".

Personally, I'm more than sure that this is a god-like-object (which includes compression, encryption, encoding).
