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)

I generally have a shared class somewhere that defined these as constants.  This way I can reuse them more easily.  When it comes to high-level encryption and preventing any type of disassembler, I basically pre-encrypt as much information as possible.

In your case, I would just put the keys in a code file that is different than the one you are defining your encryption class.  That should be sufficient for most cases.
