Securing Encryption Keys In C#?
Mar 11, 2011
I am aware of the many cryptography providers that are available in the .NET framework along with the basics of how to use them. This is simple enough.
But my concern is this.Lets say I want to use these libraries to encrypt XML serialized objects to prevent tampering and the ability of anyone to come along and view the contents of these files.
The problem that I am always left with is that the key to decrypt this data would need to be stored as a constant somewhere in my application. Essentially rendering the entire exercise pointless.
So, how does one store a key for an encryption algorithm securely inside of a disassemblable application?
EDIT: So If I am understanding both answers below correctly. What this means is that essentially any implementation (to be secure) requires it to be readonly or writeonly but never both? Is this correct?

I have a program based in Visual Basic 2010. I want to use a custom keyword and AES encryption to generate registration keys on our company website, that will unlock the software regardless of whether or not the software is connected to the internet.

I have a problem detecting whether one of the arrow keys is pressed, all the other keys seem to be detected apart from the arrow keys??? I have set key preview to True........ It detects the arrrow keys BUT ONLY if I have NO other controls on the form??? example..
Me.Text = e.keycode
It works, but then if I add a button for example, it stops.

I have a document management system, and I am building a Web-Service interfaces to the database.Everything works so far, just that right now, it's totally unsecured, everybody can access it.How can I incorporate password or private-public key authentication?
I can only find 'best practises' and using 'windows user' or passport authentication.But I need authentication from a user and password stored in the database, or better for an RSA private-key stored for each web-service user in the database...
Edit:I have to use the .NET Framework 2.0 in an ASP.NET environment

In this project, I will develop a dotnet based application which can match and identify the fingerprints and implement the authentication process across ATM usage

am [writing reading] from a plain text file usernames and passwords, but its an bad way of securing data, is there any other way to do this, most probably by using IV's, encryption decryption algorithms.

I'm creating an application that uses SQLite (using the SQLite.Net adapter) as its database engine. Since some of the data stored in the database is sensitive I've encrypted the database using the SQLite.NET built-in encryption, and then to open the database I've to do something like this:
vbnet
SQLiteconnection.ConnectionString = "Data Source=" & DataBaseLocation & ";" 'Set the connection string

I have set up a method in vb.net and in xcode for encrypting a string using as far as i can tell the same parameters for an AES encryption.I've looked all over the place but cannot find information on whether they use the same encryption algorithm and settings.
this is the vb.net code:
Dim encryptAES As New AesCryptoServiceProvider()
Dim encoding As New UTF8Encoding()
Dim encryptor As ICryptoTransform
encryptAES.Key = encoding.GetBytes("12345678901234567890123456789032")
encryptAES.IV = encoding.GetBytes("1234567890123416")
encryptAES.Mode = CipherMode.CBC

I am building a database application using MYSQL as the backend. The MYSQL instance will be installed remotely on a share host. I have access to SSL certificates. I'm obviously not looking for any code but, conceptually, how do I go about securing the connection using SSL between my application and the remote MYSQL database?

We are developing an application in VB.NET 2008. We break the application into smaller multiple dlls so that we can easily update the program at the customer end.We want to know that is their any way to stop the other person to use my dll in their application?i.e we want to lock the dlls such a way that the dlls will be used by us only and not anybody in their application.Also we want to block viewing of dlls code using any code reflector

I've made an application and it connects to my database. But the issue is the details of the database can be found out through packet logging or something. How can I stop this from happening and secure it, without having to have a third party such as PHP script etc.

How could I loop through a list of the keys that are available in the 'Keys' enumeration? It seems like it should be something easy to do, but I'm not having any luck finding a collection that I can loop through.

So I found this little morpg. The game is fun but really repetitive. I would like to simplify some of the tasks in the game. I do not know how to start this project. How can I recored arrow keys and then tell the computer to enter the arrow keys? One of the objectives in the game is to run around a farm 2x and scare away any wolfs. So the commands would be "arrow key up" for 30sec and then "arrow key right" for 4 sec and repeat. I have worked with robots in real life for some time. We would fill arrays with such instructions. One of the most fun things to program! But I have no idea how to do this in VB.

I need to capture the left and right arrow keys in Form1.KeyDown event so I can use them as hot keys. Instead they seem to be assigned to tab order (move focus to previous/next control) and the KeyDown event never gets called. How can I remove the arrow keys from tab order and use them for my hot keys instead?

I have been trying to create an app that will do xor encryption. I have tried a few different functions but none of them seem to give me what I want. I need it to put the coded text into a 7 bit ascii string. For example if the key was a - 1100001 and the text to be encrypted was s - 1110011 then it would return 0010010 as the encryption. One of the pieces of code I tried to use
Public Function XOREncryption(ByVal CodeKey As String, ByVal DataIn As String) As String
Dim lonDataPtr As Long
Dim strDataOut As String
Dim temp As Integer
[code]....
This returns a hex digit though which will not work for what I want.

I am attempting to create a program that can do raw RSA encryption (performing the encryption without using 'Encrypt' and 'Decrypt') of a user's message that can contain a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and [,.;:'"()]. I've attached a screen shot of the application form.
Basically, the user will pick from a list of prime numbers from the first box and input them into p and q. They will type their message in the designated textbox and then hit <encrypt> which will encrypt using p and q and then show the encrypted message below. I'll leave out the Key box since that deals with the math behind the encryption.
The part I am stuck on right now is assigning a number to each one of the characters so that it can be encrypted. These numbers need to remain the same so that the message can be decrypted as well.

I tried a couple of the send keys and they will not send any keys at all. I need a true Space bar input (SendKeys does not work for me). Also, I would like this to work on 32 and 64 bit computers. Let me know if you know of any good examples. I would love to have the ability to send a string in the future, but I can add that feature myself. [code]

I'm looking to use RSA Asymmetric encryption to encrypt some data. I've read this article on the forums with a similar title, but it did not answer my question. What I would like to do is use the private key of an RSA key combination to encrypt (sign?) the data and use the public key to decrypt (verify?), as per this wikipedia article . I would like to use this method because I want people to be able to read the data, but not create it themselves. I've copied the code from Peter Bromberg's article RSA Encryption in .NET Demystified , but always get an exception with the "Bad Key" message. If I use the public key for decryption, it works fine (the opposite of what I want). use the public key for encryption.
