I am using streamreader to read a file that is encrypted using PGP netshare. The file opens fine on my PC and i can read the file using Streamreader when it is unencrypted, but when i add it to an encrypted folder, I get back gibberish when the file is read. Below is a snipit of code, but i feel as though this may not be the problem.

Working in VB in VS 2008 I'm trying to read from an Excel file using Oledb. I have no problem with it when the file is not encrypted, but the client has set a password on the working copy.
I read elsewhere that it's not possible to read an encrypted Excel file this way, but I find that hard to believe.
I'm working on a way to authenticate users in my app, and what I've come up with is the following method.To write to a database, the user must have an account in SQL server 2008. However, I still want people to be able to view the application if they don't have access, but only read, they can't sync any changes. This is working well, as I have a string array hard coded containing approved users:
Dim Users() As String = {"BWANG", "EDASALLA", "ERICHARDSON", "HALONZO", "JCHAPMAN", "SKIM", "PMACK"}
The one problem with hardcoding is that if I need to ever add a user later on, I'd have to release an update to the program. (which isn't hard as I already have updating built into the app, and users can still download updates even if they can't sync.)
What I'd like to do, is use an encrypted .dat file that contains the user names, and store that with the application, so that i could always be added to, and only one file would need to be downloaded.
I have code in place to encrpt and decrypt the .dat file (called users.dat) and this code works for single text entries in the file. I need to figure out how to load a list however into the array in place.
Imports System
Imports System.IO
Dim userfile as String = "C:users.dat"
Dim Users() As String = Data.Decrypt(File.ReadAllLines(path))
Basically each line in the file will have an encrypted user name, and i want it to decrypt each line and store it back into that authorized user list.
I am wondering if it is possible to read in the encrypted value of a Windows users password so I can preload a textbox with the value? I have a checkbox on my .NET form -> Use Workstation Logon. When the user checks this box, the username and password fields are populated respectively.
View 3 RepliesI am attempting to find some code to use in VB.NET to decrypt a string that has been encrypted using the Java crypto libary.All of the code I have found so far uses an Initialisation Vector and Key to decrypt but the string has been encrypted using the Key only. (Using an Initialisation Vector is apperently an optional step in Java).Does anyone know of code that I can use (preferably in VB.NET but i could convert C#) to decrypt AES 128 Bit encoded string without an Initialisation Vector?
View 1 Repliesi am trying to decrypt a file that was encrypted with Des. However not all of the file is encrypted just a few lines are. Here is an example of the file im trying to decrypt:
Random text
Encrypted Text
MD5 Hash
Encryption Key(Only there for tests)
Number of encrypted lines
The idea is to read the last three lines into variables and use them to decrypt the text. At the moment i use the number of lines - (the number of encrypted lines + 3) to find where the encrypted text starts. Then i was trying to copy the encrypted text to a temp file so i could run the code bellow on it, however i am getting an encoding error apparently i need to be using base64 or something. So my question is can anybody explain to me or show me how i can pull the encrypted text out of the file so that i can use the code bellow on it.
Dim DES As New DESCryptoServiceProvider()
'A 64-bit key and an IV are required for this provider.
'Set the secret key for the DES algorithm.

View 2 RepliesI am facing a rather odd problem right now. If you fellow this : Best place to put key or password used for encryption? i was looking at a way to encrypt data. Using RSA seemed to be a good choice. However we have a problem since my requirements are thoses fellowing...Client must have a file encrypted in order to determine if the software is activated.
That actually mean that the client must read the encrypted file.. but the problem is that we actually need the private key to be there which isnt a good idea since some poeple could start making their license file using that key. The activation server encrypt the data file which are sent back to the client and then the client save that file.
Client must have a file encrypted in order to determine if the software is activated.Client sent user data to the activation server in unencrypted/encrypted form. That doesnt matter. Sure it would be better encrypted at this point.The activation server check that data and then determine if the client can be activated.If the client can be activated then the server send the encrypted form of the license file.. but the problem appear now.. there is no way to deencrypt the file on the client if the private key isnt on the client which would be pretty insecure!
Friends I want to try my hands on encryption/decryption. What I want is to export the dataTable content in encrypted format to a file. And when needed import back.
I am able to do the export import as XML file, but how to encrypt the data? Regards Pranabjyoti (If a post answers your query mark the post as answer)
I'm looking to be able to save and load the content from multiple structured arrays and variables into/from an encrypted file, is there any reliable source of information or tutorial that I'd be able to use for this? I've never written a program in visual basic that writes to/reads from a file.
I'm using microsoft visual studio 2008.
I'm looking for a way to save text directly to an encrypted file, without saving it to a plain text file and encrypt this text file afterwards.
I don't care about the encryption type used as long as it is easy to implement and secure enough..

I have created a program that saves the co-ordinates of the users mouse and saves it to a text file to be used as an auto clicker.

I need to check the test result with the data from database, to find out which test result is failed. If there is a fail test result, I will show an alert to the operator and stop the checking process. Until the operator close the alert, then the checking process will continue from the last read point.
I have a number of word documents I am converting. Everything is going great until I get a file that is read only. In this case I get a Save As prompt.
Is there any way to open the file in read/write format? I should have admin privileges so access isn't an issue.
I'm using VB.net to open the files. More specifically
doc = word.Documents.Open(path, Type.Missing, False, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing)

View 3 RepliesI need to write data to a file, preferably in binary format, but I am unaccustomed with the concept. Where's the easiest place to get the basics? I could come here with a specific need, but I'm at the point right now where I am more willing to work within the confines of keeping it simple.
Here's what I know:
1. how to open a new file
2. how to specify the record length
3. how to close the file
Some specific questions:
Does the record length have to be constant throughout the file?
Can I read the nth record without reading the whole file?
I would like to know how I could encrypt the url and store the encrypted value in the dll?

I have a fairly simple XML file that I just want to read the data from.
It has 3 levels, root, main section and items. There are no attributes. I want to go to the first main section by name, then read in all the items. The items all are named the same. I've seen this done before, so it should be ok. No writing will be done. Basically this is a static data file
