I have a program and I want to make it so you need a specific key to use it. I want to store keys in a text file and also use encrypt strings from my program to a text file.
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and programming in Visual Basic
There are many algorithms for encryption in internet. But i found them more complex. I want simple and powerful algorithm for encryption and decrytion of text.
View 13 RepliesIm a Uni student and im having probs with encrypting an image and also the contents of a folder. I have successfully encrypted and decrypted a text file using the following code below.
If anyone could take a look and advise on how to alter my code to perform the task of selecting an image or folder and encrypting it and decrypting it via a secret key that you input within a textbox,

I'm writing a program in Basic where users can select a File using OpenFileDialog, then using a Dialog with two textboxes as the way to set the password to encrypt a file. I'm having trouble getting the program to require the password to open the file.
View 5 RepliesI've been messing around with cryptography lately and wanted to figure a way to encrypt an exe so it's not runnable then decrypt it back to it's original state. I found a tutorial online that teaches how to do this with a text file so I figured I'd just tinker with that and try converting it for use with executables. For some reason though after I decrypt the encrypted version it doesn't run and gives me the error:^I'm running 64 bit windows but I'm pretty sure this wouldn't work on an x86 system either.

Trying to decrypt a textfile is giving me an error: The input is not a valid Base 64-string as it contains a non-Base 64 character, more then two padding characters, or a non-white space character among the padding characters.Besides that I also get an exception while debugging: A first chance exception of type 'System.FormatException' occurred in Fenix.exe When I start the app it opens the file and tries to decrypt it. After decryption the string is send to a label, so I can read it. The codes I used:
vb.net
' encrypt the file Private Function Encrypt(ByVal strText As String, ByVal strEncrKey As String) As String Dim IV() As Byte = {&H12, &H34, &H56, &H78, &H90, &HAB, &HCD, &HEF} Try Dim bykey() As Byte = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(strEncrKey) Dim InputByteArray() As Byte = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(strText)

I recently made a program that will automatically log in a site and start a game. I have it so that you can save the Username and Password to a text file. I need the text file to be encrypted though, and then decrypted when you load it back up.
View 14 Repliesi'm making instead of having the game save as regular text i wanted to mix it up a little. So, i took a bunch of special characters and assigned letters - A-Z and numbers 0-9 - some special characters per character. Anyway, when i 'encrypt'(not really encrypt) the text it works fine. But when i go to change it back.. that's where nothing happens.[code]The code for when i change the regular text into special characters is the same thing except backwards.I would rather not post the project since it's part of an even bigger project.

View 3 RepliesIn the UI of my winForm I ask the user for a user name and password. I store this password as text in the Settings (the .settings file) of my project. The app is a visual Studio Add-in How can I encrypt and decrypt the password before and after I enter it into the Settings file? I don't really need anything fancy. It's just a little in-house app. But I'd like to know all my options
View 3 RepliesI am actually really new to VB and C#. From numerous tutorials that i found online i was able to create a small program that will encrypt a file. However I am having a really hard time decrying it back.[code]All I am trying to do is to create a program that will decrypte these file with an upload button. Our system encrypts the files to prevent operators from changing the results, we need to trend the data. However it will take way to long to use the online tool provided with the software. A desktop tool will save us much more time. The files generated are 70mb and up.
View 15 RepliesIm trying to create an encrypted file using a secure string and the AES128bit managed class to encrypt some data to a file.I have read many variations on the forums on how to do this but everyone seems to do it slightly differently.

Here is my code for encrypting a file:
Public Shared Function AESFileEncrypt(inputFilename As String, outputFilename As String) As Boolean
'Create SymmetricAlgorithm object and specify the Key and IV.
Dim AES As RijndaelManaged = New RijndaelManaged
[CODE]...........
This happens with large files. I gather that I have to use a fixed size buffer and read the file in small chunks, copying those chunks from the input to the output stream, until I reach the end of the input file.
I am working on a program that uses AES encryption to encrypt a file. I fully understand AES encryption (after lots of research) and I am able to encrypt a big long string of binary numbers. How do you turn a file into a string of zeros and ones. Actually, a file will probably be represented using hexadecimal, so......How do you turn a file into a string of hex values? Is this even possible in vb?
View 19 RepliesI'm reading a file into a buffer using the Space function. Then I'm using blowfish dll's to encrypt it, and want to write the encrypted data to a txt file. (I realize you can use .NET cryptography classes, but I need to use these old blowfish dll's for this project.) Anyway, when when I encrypt the data in the buffer, I can see all encrypted data, but when I write it out to a file, I get a few lines of encrypted data and the rest of plain text.

Let's say a create a new project consisting of form1, sized at 400x400.I add a datagridview box of say 350x350 in size.Now that looks fine when the program is run. Except if the user increases the size of the window - or even worse maximises the window on a high res screen. Now my lovely 350x350 datagridview box looks silly on the huge empty background.Is there a way to set the datagridview box to increase in size automatically as the window grows?
View 2 RepliesI downloaded AxCrypt and encrypted a pdf file. It creates an executable that self decrypts the file if the correct password is entered. This is what I need except that I have to email this self decrypting file - and we all know that exe files get blocked. Are there any self decrypting methods out there that do not use an executable file?
View 5 RepliesI am trying to setup so a user can subscribe to my forums. When he/she does so, it puts them in the nec. group on the forum. This is all easy. Note: I am the owner of the site and the mysql db. So this isnt to decrypt them on other sites.
In short, all of my software will require a login / password to use the programs.
Now, on the mysql, the db encrypts the passwords. How would I go about decrypting it? I read somewhere that its a one way encryption. If this is the case, how does the site know if the password is right or wrong if it cant decrypt it?
[Code] Here _data is a string containing the encrypted value. m_transformDec is the Decryptor created previously. Usually this works. Occasionally, I get a "bad data" error. I print out the value of _data, and it is always the same. The code is multi-threaded, which I suspect is the reason for both the problem, and it being hard to reproduce. The decryptor is created in the creation of the class, and the decryption is done in a Shared function, but I don't see anything there which is not thread-safe. Any ideas?
View 1 RepliesI have encrypted a user inputted value and successfully stored it in the Windows Registry. Now I am having problems Decrypting that RegistryKey when my Form starts up and making sure it is the same key that was originally stored. My decrypting code has been working but if I go inside the Registry and add an extra character on to that keys value, my program is still running.. It is not supposed to run if that RegistryKey is not the one that was originally user inputted..[code]And I also have tried A LOT of other examples, but I am not going too post them all. So is there anyway I can check if a RegistryKey exists and Decrypt it to make sure that it has not been changed on my programs startup?

I have a requirement where I have to pass some values into the next page via querystring.This querystring is coming from third party and they need to have it on the otherpage for some analysis. I just do a response.redirect and add the querystring that i recieve from them to the other page. My problem is that the .net environment is encoding/encrypting some of the special characters used by them which I dont want as it does not bring back the correct values in the new page.
