Re: Encryption

Greg, Depending on the target app there are various tools. Given that this list is about .Net I'd assume everyone would code around .Net so the most obvious one would be Reflector (or any of the preferred competitors). Second try would be ILDasm. Then someone will try to apply an "obfuscator" but

RE: Encryption

A bit off-topic for the oddball case that you're describing, Stephen - but there is a (commercial) cryptograph software licensing .NET library available from LogicNP Software that discusses how that needs to be set up, and they have a

Re: Encryption

Stephen, Except using DAPI (which you know the "issues") you are pretty much in a situation where any solution you pick can be reverse engineered by someone with enough access level. The "next best" way of doing it is to encrypt using a X.509 certificate. Generate a certificate with a private key

Hi, yeah sounds like a key to the encryption / decryption is probably what you want assuming there are multiple boxes and/or you want option to scale out. I think you can just use the stuff in the Cryptography namespace. Just bear in mind that securing the keys will be important. But it would b
