I am after some code to encrypt/decrypt a file, with a feature to display theencryption/decryption process percentage.The following code works well for strings, but when I tried to use it on byte arrays, I get an out of memory error.
Public Function AESEncrypt(ByVal PlainText As String, ByVal Password As String, ByVal salt As String)
Dim HashAlgorithm As String = "SHA1" 'Can be SHA1 or MD5

I need some help on saving/reading xml from/to dataset. I would like to make that complete file is encrypted and not only some elements inside or part of file.Currently this is not working in any way at all.[code]
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 have this code which works well:
Public Function AESEncrypt(ByVal PlainText As String, ByVal Password As String, ByVal salt As String)
Dim HashAlgorithm As String = "SHA1" 'Can be SHA1 or MD5
Dim PasswordIterations As String = 2
Dim InitialVector As String = "CanEncryption123" 'This should be a string of 16 ASCII characters.
Dim KeySize As Integer = 256 'Can be 128, 192, or 256.

What I am after is this: Rather than having a string to encrypt/decrypt, I have a byte array.
I 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.
View 1 RepliesI have created a encryptor/decryptor that allows you to encrypt/decrypt text in a textbox, or a file. The basis of the system is to allow a user to thoroughly protect data within their system. Is there anyone that would be willing to test the program?
View 4 RepliesI save data from datagridview to text file . I also load the same data from text file into datagridview for edit and update the same thing to text file. Now i want to make my Drill layer header.txt in encrypted format to prevent anyone to open that file and modify out of program. They only can modify it through the program How can we do like this?
My Drill Layer Header.txt file is like this
T240C3.175F012S27H2000
T239C0.95F034S55H1000
T236C1.2F029S48H2000

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.
The same thing that happens when you compile a script it turns in a non-readable mode but when it's opened in the right editor it's back for editing like normal.But just so it encrypts and decrypts the textfiles just like I said before.
View 3 RepliesI'm attempting to create a little library to encrypt and decrypt Files with AES. There are loads of examples of how to do this on the internet so coding is not a problem. There are however a few questions regarding cryptography and AES in general.
#1 Does the IV need to be kept a secret like the key ?
#2 Can I just hash a string with SHA512 to make a key for AES ? or do I need to use PasswordDeriveBytes ?
#3 In the case of me using PasswordDeriveBytes Do I need to keep the salt a secret ?(or do I need to keep it at all)
#4 Can I generate the IV from the same password that the Key is derived from ?(if so How ?)
For example I got this part of a method which serializes a textfile with a password and then encrypts it using the rijndael encryption method[code]...

View 3 RepliesNeed to design a program that can encrypt and decrypt messages stored in simple text files using a private key stored in a separate file. Software should also be able to allow the users to enter simple messages that either displays the encrypted or decrypted message. The encryption method should use a simple substitution method. It should be set out in the following format:
Example (the "@" is the separator):
@
The character The Code End of line
A @ 4gh EOL
B @ 84!9 EOL
Has to use the 256 ASCII character codes. The separator will be used to separate the character and its corresponding code.Here are the pseudocodes I have come up with:
� Read any private key file
separator = readline(file);
while not EOF(file) do
tempStr = readline(file);

I have a classic ASP page which constructed a querystring for a link to an ASP.NET page. Certain elements in the querystring are somewhat sensitive so I want to encrypt them. I've come across some techniques for doing this in ASP.NET and also in classic ASP but I'm not sure how to do it from classic ASP to ASP.NET. I'm using .NET 3.5.

View 7 Repliesi need a standard way of encrypting a string and decrypting it using AES. I am aware of the Cryptography class, however almost every example creates a class to do the encryption,If .Net already has this implemented and ready to use why would we create classes for encryption and decryption, isn't it as simple as calling the encrypt method of the class or decrpyt and passing in the text. Unless everyone is wanting to centralize the code. But even then i see so many different examples from File,Data Protection etc..

This is not working ... Note that I tried to write a PKCS7 class based on a Java class I found. The hurlant package I downloaded only had PKCS5. VB.NET did not provide any of the same padding classes as hurlant comes with. I wish I could using "None" but I couldn't get passed the error in VB.I think there may also be an issue with the way I am converting a string into a byte array in VB vs Air.
how to encrypt / decrypt a string in VB.Net.I followed the example given here and wrote the following code (below). There's a text box, an "encrypt" button, and a "decrypt" button. The idea is to type something into the text box ("like 'hello world'"), click "encrypt", and see the encrypted version appear in the text box. Clicking "decrypt" should then take you back to the original string.
But when I try to encrypt I get an error when I try to "FlushFinalBlock". The error is: "Length of the data to encrypt is invalid".The "decrypt" part is a total shot in the dark, as the example quoted above only deals with encryption, not decryption. I'm sure it's wrong, but since I can't get "encrypt" to work I haven't tested it yet.

how to encrypt and decrypt strings.

View 2 Repliesi have found a few encrypt/decrypt tutorials online but either they dont work or they only work when the application is running so if i encrypt a string using some code i find and save it (in its encrypted form) and then restart the application and enter the saved encrypted string into a textbox and run the decrypt code it wont decrypt it. i don't understand why en/de-cryption is so hard or why there are so little working examples online. could someone be so kind and show me some code that can let me en/de-crypt a string even if i restart the application or use it on a different computer? and doesn't show the weak key errors all the time.
