Rijndael Class
Definition
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Represents the base class from which all implementations of the Rijndael symmetric encryption algorithm must inherit.

Remarks
This algorithm supports key lengths of 128, 192, or 256 bits; defaulting to 256 bits. This algorithm supports block sizes of 128, 192, or 256 bits; defaulting to 128 bits (Aes-compatible).
Important
The Rijndael class is the predecessor of the Aes algorithm. You should use the Aes algorithm instead of Rijndael. For more information, see the entry The Differences Between Rijndael and AES in the .NET Security blog.
