Irresponsible ownership of data is the cause of many leaked emails, data, and other damaging information. Securing a user’s personal information is the job of software developers. If you, as a developer, can decrypt the information stored in the database of the system you are working on, then so can anyone else. In Cryptography in .NET Succinctly, Dirk Strauss will take readers through generating cryptographic signatures, hashing and salting passwords, and when and how to use symmetric vs. asymmetric encryption. 

With the 4.6.1 RC we have added support for WPF to recognize custom dictionaries registered globally. This capability is available in addition to the ability to register them per-control. Also, custom dictionaries in the previous versions of WPF had no affordance for Excluded Words and AutoCorrect lists. On Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, these scenarios are now enabled through the use of files that can be placed under %AppData%\Microsoft\Spelling\<language tag>.
