I think it is simpler than you think. You can easily use classes like TripleDES for the purpose. The sample code can be found here. http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/dhananjaycoder/triple-des-encryption-and-decryption-using-user-provided-key/ All you have do is create helper class and somehow manage the key part which only you know and is not taken as a user input.
