What is the key to the encryption here when I use this wrapper?



What will I need to move to my webserver upon deployment (thinking ahead) to maintain the ability to read encrypted data I deploy?



I am using this (as below) to encrypt both database values for some sensitive information as well as parameters I pass to avoid the possibility of hack and SQL injection attacks. Am I using it correctly?



Thanks,



Keith



sample implementation:

Dim x As String = "hhhh"

Dim encrypted_x As String

Dim decrypted_x As String



Dim wrapper As MicroFour.StrataFrame.Security.Encryption.TripleDESWrapper

wrapper = New MicroFour.StrataFrame.Security.Encryption.TripleDESWrapper



encrypted_x = wrapper.Encrypt(x)

decrypted_x = wrapper.Decrypt(encrypted_x)

Yes, this looks fine.  The only other thing that I would recommend is creating your own encryption key and vector rather than using the default keys.  If you notice, there is an overload on the New().  Use the second overload to provide the key and vector:

loDES = New TripleDESWrapper(New Integer() {24 values}, New Integer() {8 values})

The intellisense should give you some sample code on this.
