Overview

This is an extension to the .NET Core configuration capabilities that allows for JSON configuration files to have keys with encrypted values. The library uses the Cryption library internally and you can use that library to create your encrypted values.

Example

An example JSON file:

{
  "SomeKey.Encrypted": "<your_encrypted_value>"
}

Startup configuration code to load your encrypted file. Note that any keys that end with ".Encrypted" will be decrypted and available as their real name.

var host = new HostBuilder()
               .ConfigureAppConfiguration(config =>
               {
                   config.AddEncryptedJsonFile("your_settings_file.json", "your_key");
               }).Build();

var value = host.Services.GetServices<IConfiguration>().GetValue<string>("SomeKey");
