Microsoft s .NET framework has robust support for encryption in the System.Security.Cryptography namespace. Everything you need to perform encryption is available in that class, but it s difficult to understand unless you have a firm grasp of cryptographic theory. Over the last four months, I ve struggled with the concepts and theory behind encrypting and decrypting data. I ve wrapped all my derived knowledge into a class I call Encryption. This class is heavily documented, string oriented, and most of all, simple! It s ideal for learning more about encryption.-Microsoft s.
