about_Carbon.Cryptography SHORT DESCRIPTION Carbon.Cryptography is a PowerShell module that: * gets, installs, and uninstalls X509 certificates, * converts `[securestring]` objects to `[strings]` LONG DESCRIPTION # Functions * `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` |
