I'm writing a home accounts application as just for the hell of it. The data will be in an Access2002 database.

 

I use a laptop and so want to encryt certain fields such as account no, payment amounts etc.

 

Would using hashtables to write to the database an encryted version of the data a good way to do it or is there a more efficient way?

 

Thnx

Hashtables don't store the data in an encrypted form, the original data is still there. They are more of a performance thing when searching.

 

Best place to look is

System.Security.Cryptography and it's related classes.

 

A good one to look at would be

System.Security.Cryptography.RSACryptoServiceProvider

has a little example of how to use it
