*Experts* mutant Posted October 7, 2003 *Experts* Posted October 7, 2003 You dont usually decrypt the password, but encrypt the string you want to compare to the encrypted one to see if they are the same. Framework has a handful of classes for encryption like MD5 or SHA. Quote
wichawd Posted October 7, 2003 Author Posted October 7, 2003 I see. So how do you protect the key you used to encrypt the anything in general? Quote
