Using SecureString

Question

Can this be simplified to a one liner? Feel free to completely rewrite it as long as secureString gets initialized properly.

SecureString secureString = new SecureString ();
foreach (char c in "fizzbuzz".ToCharArray())
{
    secureString.AppendChar (c);
}

Answer 1

Apart from using unsafe code and a char*, there isn't a (much) better way.

The point here is not to copy SecureString contents to/from normal string ("fizzbuzz" is a securityleak).

Answer 2

You could use Linq:

"fizzbuzz".ToCharArray ().ToList ().ForEach ( p => secureString.AppendChar ( p ) );
