# Overview

The "Carbon.Cryptography" module has functions that help manage X509 certificates and working with secure strings.

It started out as part of the [Carbon](http://get-carbon.org) module. But when that module become too big and unwieldy,

its security-related functionality was moved into this module.

# System Requirements

* Windows PowerShell 5.1 and .NET 4.6.1+

* PowerShell Core 6+

# Installing

To install globally:

```powershell

Install-Module -Name 'Carbon.Cryptography'

Import-Module -Name 'Carbon.Cryptography'

```

To install privately:

```powershell

Save-Module -Name 'Carbon.Cryptography' -Path '.'

Import-Module -Name '.\Carbon.Cryptography'

```

# Commands

* `Convert-CSecureStringToByte`: converts a secure string into an array of bytes (that can be easily cleared from from

memory, unlike strings, who hang out forever).

* `Convert-CSecureStringToString`: converts secure strings to strings.

* `Get-CCertificate`: reads X509 certificates from files or, on Windows, from the Windows certificate stores.

* `Install-CCertificate`: Installs X509 certificates into the Windows certificate store.

* `Protect-CString`: Encrypt a string using the Windows Data Protection API (DPAPI; Windows only), public/private key

cryptography, or symmetric cryptography.

* `Uninstall-CCertificate`: Removes X509 certificates from the Windows certificate store.

* `Unprotect-CString`: Decrypt a string that was encrypted with `Protect-CString`.
