I would like to know how to encrypt and decrypt files
using c#.
I want a program that asks for password before encrypt or
decrypt the file.
best regards

Anilza,
You can use the classes in the System.Security .Cryptography namespace to
encrypt and decrypt files (which are really just byte streams persisted to
disk).
However, if you want to use a password of some sort, you might want to
consider using the MD5 algorithm to hash the password. Basically, you would
hash the password using the MD5 algoritm, creating a hash string of 128
bits. Once you have that, you can then use that as the key for the Rijndael
encryption routine.
Hope this helps.

In the System.Security .Cryptography namespace the PasswordDeriveB ytes class
will let you derive a cryptographic key from a password string. You can
then use this key in one of the encryption classes such as Rijndael.
When encrypting/decrypting you can either act on an array of bytes in
memory, or you can use CryptoStream to do stream-based IO but with
cryptography applied. http://blogs.gotdotnet.com/ivanmed/P...5-40b9-ace6-59

Hello,
My problem is two fold.
1) I must support a deployed legacy application written in VB6 SP5. I
need to export data from a database, compress it and the encrypt the data
using 3DES (to prevent tampering) data gets transmitted at night to the home
office of my company. Rewriting this application in .NET is not an option as
the application was 5 years in development.

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...
