Шифрование строки и расшифровка

Шифруем строку по ключу. Нужно передать строку  и ключ(с помощью которого будем шифровать в метод EncryptText), чтобы зашифровать. Чтобы расшифровать - передаем зашифрованное сообщение и ключ в метод DecryptText.

            // The salt bytes must be at least 8 bytes.
