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.
View 3 RepliesI 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 want to save my connection string in XML file.How to do that?How to encrypt and decrypt that file using VB.Net
View 2 RepliesI 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.
View 2 RepliesI recently have been developing a app that uses the rijndael encrypt and decrypt function it stores dates in the registry (encrypted with a key using the algorithm)
for example Dim strOldDay As String = Key.GetValue("UserSettings", "").ToString the key was made using a private function called "createkeys"
example:
dim current as currentdate
Current.Day = DateTime.Now.Day.ToString
Current.Day = Encrypt(pPassPhrase, Current.Day)

I have spent quite a while trying to solve this problem.I would like to be able to decrypt a file using an old password, then encrypt the file with a new password in memory. I could easily write the unencrypted file to disk then encrypt the file with a new password, BUT I was trying to keep the unencrypted file from being written to disk. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Private Function ReEncryptFile(ByVal PathToFile As String, ByVal OldPassword As String, ByVal NewPassword As String) As Boolean End Function I've been using a cryptostream to decrypt the file, but I cant seem to figure a way to encrypt the crytostream afterwards (or convert it to a memorystream and (re)encrypt the memorystream)
I use the following Rijndael code to do encryption without fail for many times. But why it can not encrypt an ISO file with 4.2 GB? In fact my computer has 16GB memory and it should not be a memory problem. I use Windows 7 Ultimate. The code is compiled as winform (.Net 4) using Visual Studio 2010 (a VB.NET project).
I have checked that the ISO file is OK and can be mounted as virtual drive and even can be burnt to DVD rom. So it is not the ISO file problem.My question: Why the following code cannot encrypt an ISO file with size of 4.2GB? Is that caused by the limitation of Windows/.NET 4 implementation?

I'm creating a Rijndael file encryption application. I will using a unique IV for each file encryption.

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..

View 12 RepliesIs it possible to encrypt string in VB.NET, so user won't be able to see it, when he opens program with hex editor, or something like that.
View 4 Replieshow 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 query string in vb.net ?
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.

View 1 RepliesI know this topic has been addressed a million times but please help me out. I have read so many articles on HOW TO encrypt and decrypt the app.config file but I need to know WHEN and WHERE I should encrypt it.
The problem arose because we found an AppName.exe.config file on a users computer and the database username and password was clearly visible. I understand that the .config file gets created during the VB app install process and is used
by the application. I then learned about the aspnet_regiis.exe tool and ran it on the app.config file inside my VB project. I am guessing that was the wrong thing to do.
When I now install the app on user desktops, it gives an error stating failed to decrypt the connection string. Also, when one of my other developers attempts to open the project in his copy of visual studio on his computer, he receives an error when trying to access the setting portion of the project properties. We store all of our projects on a file server and any developer can access the projects via a mapped drive on their computer.
So how am I supposed to encrypt the .config file. If I can't encrypt the App.config file in the development environment, then I'm guessing I have to perform the encryption on the users PC during the install process? How do I do that? Or is that what I am supposed to do?
Just for reference, here is the aspnet_regiis command I ran.
aspnet_regiis.exe -pef "connectionStrings" S:ProjectsDevelopmentVB.netPTPUSourceCodePTPU -prov "DataProtectionConfigurationProvider"
One last thing, maybe it's my misunderstanding of the issue but if this problem has existed since .Net 2.0, why has an option not been built into the development studio to encrypt connection strings?. This would seem to be a very common issue, even their own dataset wizard creates connection strings that are clearly readable.
