Simple encryption

(1) How can I encrypt a string.

(2) How can I read-back an encrypted string.

regardsHello, this is called enrypt/decrypt, check this please:

Encryption/Decryption with .NET

thanks very much,
that seems like a very long code.

Isn't there any method in .Net where I can specify a string to be encrypted and a key which should be used to encrypt it.

Hope, there is a quicker way
Dont think so.

Hi,

If you don't really need strong encryption, XOR a number (derived from what you want to encrypt) with a key (also a number which you keep secret) to encrypt. A second XOR with the key decrypts.

After all you need a strong encryption and not just any simple on !!!!

Take a look at theSystem.Security.Cryptography namespace.
