Encrypt string for POSTing

Hi all!

I need to POST data from one of my asp.net pages to an external CGI script.
What possibilities do I have to encrypt the data for transmission? Is it
enough to send the data to an SSL secured (https) URL - hoping that this
will encrypt the POSTed data automatically - or do I have to do more?

Regards

Yes, SSL will encrypt the posted data automatically, so this is probably
your best option.

Ok, thanks for your reply. And this will also work when using the .net
WebRequest class to create a new web request for
https://externaldomain.com/cgi-bin/mycgi.cgi, won't it?

If SSL is not supported, which alternatives could I use?
Thanks

Markus

Hi, I had a look at the vast information on encryption in the MSDN and got pretty confused.

Could you send me please into the right direction. Thanks in advance. --

Hello, I'm trying to encrypt passwords in my app. After discovering that there's no simple function to do this, I wrote a wrapper class which decodes a string using UTF8, encrypts it with TripleDES and returns a Base64-encoded string. The decryption function does the reverse, i.e. Base64-decodes the string, decrypts it with the same Key and IV, and encodes it again with UTF8. The problem is that after decrypting, the 8th character is...
