Vb 2005 : Encrypt The String Values Stored In The Code?
Jul 23, 2009
encrypt the string values stored in the code.The problem is that when the code is compiled and the .exe file is generated, anybody can edit the .exe file with an text editor or another program and see the values.This is very important for me, because i have some password stored in string variables?
I'm wanting to encrypt some data (hopefully under five hundred bytes' worth) and store it in a QR code. Originally I wanted to use RSA, so the data would be signed with User A's private key and User B's public key, but unfortunately, VB.NET doesn't like encrypting that much data. I've read that I should use Rjindael to encrypt the actual data, and then use RSA to encrypt the key used by Rjindael. However, I'm not having much luck being able to search the web for some kind of tutorial or something.
Also, if I was wanting to store this on a QR code, wouldn't I have to store both the encrypted data and the encrypted key used by Rjindael? Do you think this would all fit? I may be able to use version 40 on medium error correction [URl].. it stores 18,672 "data bits"), but I would prefer to use a lower version (that is, smaller) if at all possible.Generating the QR code won't be the problem (I know there's a .NET library for that), I'm just curious about getting the data encrypted to begin with.
Need 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 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.
I have a question about the App.Config file. My understanding is that the connection string is stored within this file. I have setup my application so that the App.Config file is not only written to c:users<username>appdatalocal but also to c:users<username>appdataoaming. I plan to encrypt the connection string, my question at this point is will it encrypt the connection string in ALL copies of the App.Config file? It looks like at this point that the App.Config file is stored in two places on the hard drive.
I know there are the 'Wizards' to help me, but I need the code to access the Table Manager, the data set and so on, create them in my project and access the tables or stored procedures
I wrote a console application where arguments are passed from the command line to a string array called args()If someone runs the program without supplying any of the arguments, I want to catch this. How do you check this? I was trying this
Have following string: PHP Feed.SmulocV2.Equipment,CAT,,DFT08783,2567,Hours,2010-02-07 06:37:41,Lat:35.10495,Lng:-82.99304 The string will always have text "Lat:" and "Lng:". The value of Lat and Lng could in some cases be nothing. Now I need to extract the values for Lat and Lng.
provide a simple example code for displaying a string array of (9x13) values in a datagridview control. I am lost in the complexity of data binding and datagridview controls. I am an experienced VB6 programmer and cannot seem to grasp the transition from flexgrid control to datagridview control.
At work I am managing an application wicht stores username and password to a SQL Server 2000. When I use the programm at work to add a user the data looks like this:
I am using a simple encrypt and descrypt for a IP address. The app on the remote server will encrypt the ip address and the client will decrypt it. However, when the client descrypts the IP I only get some of the IP address back. The rest is rubbish.
The values for the hidden fields are already set. I want these value to open a window, in which the fields will be already filled using the values passed by this page. This code is working fine on Internet Explorer, but not on other browsers. Moreover, when I don't pass any value and just open the required window, it works on all browsers.
I made this program to encrypt any given string, I am getting an error that prevents this from being finished.
Public Class Form1 Dim Holder As string Dim Pass = "Za029fjao" Dim Helper As String Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Holder = TextBox1.Text Helper = Holder + Holder * Pass Textbox2.text = Helper End Sub End Class
All I want to do is multiply 2 strings (is that possible?). The error says that string cannot be converted into double...
I tried with the following code. It encrypted the file but after I FTP'd the file to my vendor he was not able to decrypt it.Then realized that this code is not using my PGP Keys to encrypt the file. It's creating a new key automatically. That's the reason my vendor is not able to decrypt the file. How can I encrypt the file using my PGP keys? So that my vendor can decrypt the file using same PGP keys.
I'm trying to make a updater for my program at first i tried putting a password on the files folder then users can download the new zip file when its updated but when they first time install it wont have the password on it so i then decided not to use a password and am wondering how would i encrypt a line of code in the program? its the line that contains the database info so obviously i don't want my users to see that.
I have forgotten the right procedure to encrypt the VB2008 code with dotfuscator community edition, may you explain the way to use it (the dotfuscator) step by step?
i 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..
I have a page that has a few text boxes on it and are filled based upon a persons information. Like Name, telephone number, address etc
The data is stored in an Access DB.
I want to add a check box and have a label beside it that if it's checked it shows a hyperlink to a pdf file, if its not checked the link disappears, so toggle between the two.
Here's the check box I have so far, which isn't much:
<br><input type=checkbox name="Password" value="<%=oRs("Password")%>" size=40> Check to show PDF File: <a href="<%=oRs("Password")%>"><%=oRs("Password")%></a><br><br>
I need this hyperlink/ string to be encrypted based upon the persons name, so each person has its own pdf file and no one can just guess anothers pdf file and have access to it....
The pdf file will be stored in a virtual directory within the site.
I don't know Vb or asp, and I'm doing this all in notepad ++
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.
Imports System.Data.SqlClient Imports System.IO Imports System.Security.Cryptography Public Class Form1
I've attempted using code snippets as a test to encrypt a string, save it to a file & the reload it back, decrypting it. I consistently get a "Padding is invalid and cannot be removed." error on decrypting the string.
I need to create a keyed hash for a string of XML to send to a 3rd party. This is the code I am using but it is producing a different hash then the example the 3rd party has sent me.
Public Shared Function HashString(ByVal StringToHash As String) As String Dim myEncoder As New System.Text.UTF32Encoding Dim Key() As Byte = myEncoder.GetBytes(My.Settings.PortalHASH) Dim XML() As Byte = myEncoder.GetBytes(StringToHash)
[code]....
It needs to be base-64 encoded, which is why I have the last line.
