How to create Encryption Key for Encryption Algorithms?

You really ought to do this the correct way 🙂

1) Use a securely generated random IV
2) Use a securely generated random key
3) Don’t use ECB mode – EVER

AesManaged aes = new AesManaged();
aes.GenerateKey();
aes.GenerateIV();

The code above will correctly and securely generate a random IV and random key for you.
