===== Notes =====

The ''CryptoProviderFactory'' automatically detects the runtime environment:

  * **Desktop/Server/Blazor Server:** ''NativeCryptoProvider''
  * **Blazor WebAssembly:** ''WasmCryptoProvider''

<code csharp>
// Automatic provider selection
var provider = CryptoProviderFactory.GetProvider();
await provider.InitializeAsync();
</code>
