Encrypt Database Data

Hello all:

Is there any way (simple hopefully) to encrypt data stored in a
database. I'm looking for something similar to PHP's MD5 functionality
(a simple function call) as I am storing passwords and would like them
to not be in plain text.

Thanks,

John

You could use the FormsAuthentication
"HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile" method. It doesn't matter whether
it is a web - based application or not, the class is there to use from
any app. Aside from the unusually long descriptive method name,
it gets the job done nicely.
