A replacement for the ProtectedData class in NET Standard that works not only in Windows but also Linux/MacOS/others.
This library is a wrapper of ProtectedData and exposes the same interface. The difference is the following:
- When running in Windows, it calls directly the original ProtectedData class supported in Windows.
- When running in non-Windows, it implements those calls using instead the AspNetCore.DataProtection library.
There is no need to download this repository. This library is available as a NuGet package.
