title: Recommended .NET encryption library
body: <p>After reading (yet another) <a href="https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-wrong-level-of-abstraction/" rel="noreferrer">post</a> by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Atwood" rel="noreferrer">Jeff Atwood</a> more or less concluding that us mortal developers shouldn't be getting too involved with encryption, I'm left wondering what library I should be using. The only two libraries I've found that seem legitimate are entlib's and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouncy_Castle_%28cryptography%29" rel="noreferrer">Bouncy Castle</a>, but they don't seem much more of an abstraction than the .NET cryptography APIs to me.</p>
  
  <p>I guess what I'm wondering is if there is a "jQuery of cryptography libraries" that is simple, widely-trusted, open and well-documented.</p>
