In this issue... In this issue, we have a
detailed article on Cryptography in .NET.
Abstract: In this article we explore the capabilities provided by the Cryptography API in .NET. We will take a look at the facilities provided by the RSACryptoServiceProvider class. We will also look at some of the other algorithms available as part of the API. Our discussion will center on encryption of messages and techniques that could be used to encrypt information/password as well.
