<!-- .NET -->
Using the Dapr SDK in your project, with the gRPC APIs, you can encrypt data in a string or a byte array:

```csharp
using var client = new DaprClientBuilder().Build();

const string componentName = "azurekeyvault"; //Change this to match your cryptography component
const string keyName = "myKey"; //Change this to match the name of the key in your cryptographic store
const string plainText = "This is the value we're going to encrypt today";

//Encode the string to a UTF-8 byte array and encrypt it
var plainTextBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(plainText);
var encryptedBytesResult = await client.EncryptAsync(componentName, plaintextBytes, keyName, new EncryptionOptions(KeyWrapAlgorithm.Rsa));
```

<!-- .NET -->
To decrypt a string, use the 'DecryptAsync' gRPC API in your project.

In the following example, we'll take a byte array (such as from the example above) and decrypt it to a UTF-8 encoded string.

```csharp
public async Task<string> DecryptBytesAsync(byte[] encryptedBytes)
{
using var client = new DaprClientBuilder().Build();

const string componentName = "azurekeyvault"; //Change this to match your cryptography component
const string keyName = "myKey"; //Change this to match the name of the key in your cryptographic store
var decryptedBytes = await client.DecryptAsync(componentName, encryptedBytes, keyName);
var decryptedString = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(decryptedBytes.ToArray());
return decryptedString;
}
```
