How secure do you need the encryption? Would ROT13 work (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROT13). You should be able to do this or some
other simple encryption in VB6 fairly easily. You can get progressively more
secure, but you would probably need to get more intricate in your VB6 code.
Just how secure do you need?
The harder part would be secure key management. With any encryption scheme,
if you can get the key, you can usualy open the door. Since you are working
on multiple computers it sounds like the DPAPI is out.

news:ux**************@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl... I have to encryt a file in my vb application and pass that file over the
internet to my another web application that will decrypt the file. In
dot net we have many options for encryt/decrypt. Does any body have a
code written in VB which supports any of the .Net decryption.
It is possible to consume .Net libraries from VB6. Is that an option in
your situation? You will need to sign your component and register it
properly, but you should be able to use it then.
