View 2 Repliesi am trying to decrypt a file that was encrypted with Des. However not all of the file is encrypted just a few lines are. Here is an example of the file im trying to decrypt:
Random text
Encrypted Text
MD5 Hash
Encryption Key(Only there for tests)
Number of encrypted lines
The idea is to read the last three lines into variables and use them to decrypt the text. At the moment i use the number of lines - (the number of encrypted lines + 3) to find where the encrypted text starts. Then i was trying to copy the encrypted text to a temp file so i could run the code bellow on it, however i am getting an encoding error apparently i need to be using base64 or something. So my question is can anybody explain to me or show me how i can pull the encrypted text out of the file so that i can use the code bellow on it.
Dim DES As New DESCryptoServiceProvider()
'A 64-bit key and an IV are required for this provider.
'Set the secret key for the DES algorithm.

I am attempting to find some code to use in VB.NET to decrypt a string that has been encrypted using the Java crypto libary.All of the code I have found so far uses an Initialisation Vector and Key to decrypt but the string has been encrypted using the Key only. (Using an Initialisation Vector is apperently an optional step in Java).Does anyone know of code that I can use (preferably in VB.NET but i could convert C#) to decrypt AES 128 Bit encoded string without an Initialisation Vector?

I've created a console .Net application and encrypted the app.config file with RSAProtectedConfigurationProvider. It works fine in an IDE on my XP desktop. Then I deployed my application to a Windows 2003 server. The package included the app's executable along with the encrypted app.exe.config file.
However, the application failed on the server with the following exception: Unhandled Exception: System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Failed to decrypt using provider 'RsaProtectedConfigurationProvider'. Error message from the provider: The RSA key container could not be opened.
I decided to encrypt app.config on the server so I copied app.config and encrypted it. The app.exe.config looked encrypted and I ran the application. However, it failed: although it didn't raise an Rsa exception as before, it couldn't read a connection string. After I decrypted app.exe.config, I found that it contained only the below string
although the original app.config had contained an application-specific connection string. I think that in order to resolve my issue I should export the RSA keys from my desktop to the server. Can you advise how can I do it (it's not a Web application!).
i will like to know if it will be possible to decrypt and encrypted file in vb.net or any without knowing the form of encryption..any information on how to go by it... in that if you lose the form on encryption can it be decrypted?
View 1 RepliesI am using streamreader to read a file that is encrypted using PGP netshare. The file opens fine on my PC and i can read the file using Streamreader when it is unencrypted, but when i add it to an encrypted folder, I get back gibberish when the file is read. Below is a snipit of code, but i feel as though this may not be the problem.

Working in VB in VS 2008 I'm trying to read from an Excel file using Oledb. I have no problem with it when the file is not encrypted, but the client has set a password on the working copy.
I read elsewhere that it's not possible to read an encrypted Excel file this way, but I find that hard to believe.

View 4 RepliesI am facing a rather odd problem right now. If you fellow this : Best place to put key or password used for encryption? i was looking at a way to encrypt data. Using RSA seemed to be a good choice. However we have a problem since my requirements are thoses fellowing...Client must have a file encrypted in order to determine if the software is activated.
That actually mean that the client must read the encrypted file.. but the problem is that we actually need the private key to be there which isnt a good idea since some poeple could start making their license file using that key. The activation server encrypt the data file which are sent back to the client and then the client save that file.
Client must have a file encrypted in order to determine if the software is activated.Client sent user data to the activation server in unencrypted/encrypted form. That doesnt matter. Sure it would be better encrypted at this point.The activation server check that data and then determine if the client can be activated.If the client can be activated then the server send the encrypted form of the license file.. but the problem appear now.. there is no way to deencrypt the file on the client if the private key isnt on the client which would be pretty insecure!
Friends I want to try my hands on encryption/decryption. What I want is to export the dataTable content in encrypted format to a file. And when needed import back.
I am able to do the export import as XML file, but how to encrypt the data? Regards Pranabjyoti (If a post answers your query mark the post as answer)
I'm looking to be able to save and load the content from multiple structured arrays and variables into/from an encrypted file, is there any reliable source of information or tutorial that I'd be able to use for this? I've never written a program in visual basic that writes to/reads from a file.
I'm using microsoft visual studio 2008.
I'm looking for a way to save text directly to an encrypted file, without saving it to a plain text file and encrypt this text file afterwards.
I don't care about the encryption type used as long as it is easy to implement and secure enough..
I want to create a program that verify if a file on my host exist.Example: I have a button and if i click on, it verify if exist http://myhost.ro/test/test.txtAnd then if exist, textbox1.text = "The file exist " else textbox1.text ="the file don't exist ".. Can I create this program ?

View 14 RepliesI ended up getting this properly working, as far as encrypting a file goes:How to encrypt and decrypt a file by using Visual Basic .NET or Visual Basic 2005 However, the catch is I have to change the name of the output file. What I was hoping to do is overwrite the original with the encrypted file, but when I tried that on a large file, it ended up only getting about 8 bytes of it.
Does anybody have any suggestions or recommendations? The overall idea is that I want to keep a file encrypted until it needs to be unencrypted for use by a program, but I'm not sure if there are better tools out there or if there's a better way of accomplishing this.
Question 2: I would really, really like to encrypt an entire folder, which I'm guessing would be faster than file by file, but when I try I keep getting access denied errors, even with DOS Cipher. Is there a way to do this with a key?
I give a file as parameter it crypts it with anything I don't really care if its safe or not I just want to person to not understand anything if he try's to read the file directly.so something like

I want it to open the file, rechange it to the uncrypted value then close the file. I'm using serialization so it has to be able to crypt and decrypt anything serialization does.
Reason:
When I open the file the file serialized I can still see some text.I can still see some text. =]
Has anyone used these methods? I tried File.Encrypt on a text file, and I did not get an exception, however the Encrypt method did not work (the file was unchanged afterwards).
View 3 RepliesI am interested in knowing if non-text files like .xls/.xlsx or .doc files can be encrypted... From the Devlopers Guide on MSDN, I found code snippets that allow encryption / decryption of .txt files. This works absolutely fine. However, I would like to know if similar procedure can be used to encrypt/decrypt file other than .txt file.

My Drill Layer Header.txt file is like this

This code can encryp the text file. But accrding to this code EncryptFile("c:\Drill Layer Header.txt", _ "c:\Drill Layer Header original1.txt", _ sSecretKey) It ask for input and output file. So it take data from Drill Layer Header then encrypt the save in drill layer header original.txt. I want it to take data from drill layer header and encrypt and save in same file.
