Marshaling SecureString Passwords to String(dotnet.org.za)

submitted by schalkvanwykschalkvanwyk(1335) 3 years, 4 months ago

You should always use a System.Security.SecureString when creating .NET APIs that handle passwords. Unfortunately many of the .NET Framework APIs do not yet use System.Security.SecureString. This will change in the future, but for now, how do you handle the marshaling of a System.Security.SecureString to an API that uses System.String without leaving traces of the password all over memory. Here is one work-around for this problem.
