Inherent encryption in .NET 2.0?

Hi all,

Is there any inherent basic encryption available in the string namespace
in .NET 2.0???

Thanks,
Adam

Yes anything without pulling the text through an encryption function each
time.

Like simple scrambling of strings? You can use something like MD5 or
SHA1... but those are Hashes rather than encryption.

You have also the new SecureString class :
