title: Securestring and other ways to hiding string data
body: <p>I recently came across SecureString, but as most of you know, you would be unable to use it because most of the functions you want to use accept string as parameter, not SecureString. </p>
  
  <p>How to use SecureString then? </p>
  
  <p>If I need to pass string across multiple programs, is it safer to byte array compared to plain string if string is sensitive information?</p>
