I need to make strong key for AES-256 in a) Unicode characters, b) key in bytes. A) I have to generate 50 random Unicode characters and then convert them to bytes. Is this possible to use Unicode characters as AES256 key? I want to use this page to create password. Is there any way to impor. So a value must generate the same encrypted string each time it is encrypted. Currently I'm using a 32 char key working on the possibly incorrect assumption this is 256 bits? So, I would want 'the quick brown fox' to be converted to a suitable AES 256 bit key?

hi fairly new to the cryptography... please suggest a resolution |

How-to save -safely- the private key ? Windows registry ? in disk ? I use ASP.NET applications. Test your code |
