Security :: Encryption Decryption From A Java Generated Key?
Aug 24, 2010
I have a Triple DES Key generated by java code from a third party vendor. It is a 3 part key.
We need to use this key in our VB.NET application. When I try to combine this key and use it in my app
'Dim desTransform As ICryptoTransform = desCrypto.CreateEncryptor(EncryptKey(Key), EncryptIV(IV))' gives me an error ' Specified key is not a valid size for this algorithm)
I am new to cryptography and do not understand the algorithms well. How can I use the java generated key in our app for encrypt/decrypt.
I am trying to encrypt/decrypt a file with CAPICOM in javascript. I have to encrypt file with private key and decrypt with public key. But I dont know how to do this with CAPICOM.
This is meant to be easy ...so ive been told, but still cant get it to work!I have a sql database hosted on a shared server which requires the use of sql authentication.As a result I require to encrypt my sensitive data in the config (connection strings etc).I understand that you can do this using aspnet_regiis etc, but ive been told that as I have no direct acccess to the server, I may need to program the encryption. I have seen a few examples, but as a novice I have been banging away at this, looking at an errors screen most of the time!
For our website, we have decided we would like to maintain our user passwords as encrypted binary data in our database. We are using ASP.NET 3.5 to host our site and SQL Server Express 2008 for the database, both running on the same server. When a user logs in and submits a username and password, there will need to be some sort of encryption or decryption in order to verify the credentials. To me, it would appear that there are 3 ways to do this:
1)[C# Encyrption] On User creation, perform encryption in the Web App and submit the encrypted password to the database. To verify credentials at Login, perform the same encryption on the submitted password and ensure that it matches the value stored in the database.
2)[SQL Encryption] On User creation, submit the plain-text password to the database and have it perform one of the SQL encryption variants during INSERT. To verify credentials at Login, have the database perform decryption on the password during the SELECT statement, and compare the plain-text submitted password to the one in the database.
3)[Mix] On User creation, submit the plain-text password to the database, and have it perform one of the SQL encryption variants during INSERT. To verify credentials at Login, perform the same encryption algorithm used by SQL on the submitted password ( is this possible? ), and ensure that it matches the value stored in the database.
Does anybody have an opinion as to which of these options is best? Number 1) is the most familiar to me, and would be the easiest to use with LINQ to SQL ( which is our current data model ), so I am leaning towards that. But if there are better options I would love to know about them.
i need to implement a standard encryption decryption logic across an entire project platform which has different clients implemented using different platforms as follows:
iphone app (objectiv c) website (classic asp) webservice (asp.net) samsung bada app (c++)
the iphone app as well as the website need to send info to webservice using encrypted query strings
the web service then decrypts this and processes the info further
wanted to know the simplest way to achieve this. is there some free and ready to use binary available with an easy to use api to achieve this?
encryption needs to be as secure as possible
edited: currently we use AES on the website and webservice front
I have web.config file and it is encrypted completely and hosted in one server,Now I got one requirement to change admin person mail id. So I need to decrypt the web.config file and update the mail id then encrypt the config file again. Please tell me how to do this using aspnet_regiis -pdf commands?
I used the following command to encrypt my connection string but an error ocurred, "The connection name'DatabaseConnectionString1' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty" How can I encrypt it while keeping the application working? What if I move the encrypted application to another computer? Will it work?
I am passing values through query string. I want to restrict the user to modify the url to get the unauthorized permissions.I want to encrypt the url so that user can not understand and decrypt and use in the code.How can i do this.If there is any method to restrict the user to modify the url,
I have to Encrypt and Decrypt Back the Password field in sql server i have used the pwdencrypt and pwdCompare() but i dont have to compare but i have to display the password back using the Decrypt technique Is there any algorithm which i can use only for encryption and decryption of password field?
Not sure if I'm posting the question in the right category.
1) I'm working in a project where encryption of data is high priority. Could some one suggest what would be the best encryption method to protect data from being cracked.
I'm using TCP/IP protocol.
2) Is HTTPS totally secured. If I'm using HTTPS, does that mean that there is no encryption of data required in the coding?
Also, compilation debug="false" ... > is set.No matter what I use (AES, MD5, SHA1, 3DES),it generates the same hash.Is there something I am missing out.And what is the default algorithm used if I don't specify anything?
i use the below code to dynamically generate two dropdowns and a text box in my MVC project.countValidate is used to concatenate and produce controls with postfix 1 ,2,3 etc.now i need to access the Criteria? series dropdown and check their values and according to the values received on changing the Criteria dropdown the value textbox must be disabled or enabled, in javascript.
I have requirement to encrypt the windows service config file and web.config connection strings, I could able to do that for web.config with aspnet_regiisC:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFramework64v2.0.50727>aspnet_regiis -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/application.ui")But I am still looking similar kind of way for windows service config file to encrypt and decrypt..exe.config file snippet as below
I am using a Query Encryption Technique shown in Thread[URL]I am facing a problem with the above module status bar always displays real URL,& when ever i right click on page then properties than Address URL shows Real URL
I would like to use the System.Security.Cryptography to encrypt / decrypt my passwords strings for my custom membership provider login.I've read some basic article's but they don't explain much about the process in detail. I've decided to use AES because it is said to replace DES encryption. How can I encrypt and decrypt my password strings in the strongest way possible with AES? I would really like a very detailed explanation about the method to use for this task.
If a website is already using SSL, this guarantees a secure channel between the client and the website right. If I do another encrypt on the information being transmitted via HTTP POST would this be an overkill?
I inherited a ASP.Net website. Some changes need to be implemented. The login for the application is encrypted using the md5cryptoserviceprovider class. After upgrading to 2.0, the password is no longer encrypted the same as when it was 1.1.
I left the 1.1 virtual directory and it's still working. On the same box, I loaded the 2.0 code and setup a new virtual directory (which isn't encrypting the same as 1.1).
I copied the section below from the 1.1 machine.config section into the web.config and the 2.0 machine.config.
I have a problem trying to encrypt a string in PHP and also in C# using DES (cbc) encryption. The problem I'm facing is that I'm getting different results using the different languages.In C#:
But something is going wrong somewhere, I suspect it's a difference between (PHP) pack("H*", '0F26EF560F26EF56') and (C#) StringToBytes.ConvertHex("0F26EF560F26EF56") but I'm really struggling to spot it.
I have a stored encryption: "dkljas84u238jidasjidoia"When I get in this instance decryption "11111111111111111"show how the combobox "****************** 1111 "Something like: SELECT RIGHT ('11111111111111111 ', 4)
I'm just starting to really get into JSON as a tool for my sites. I was showing my friend how I am calling a WS and returning the data, and he asked me about security of passing JSON data to and from a web service as he saw the data from the "POST" (via Firebug). Many of our public facing sites deal with member information and contain PHI. Can I encrypt the JSON data and then unencrypt it? Is that a good way to go about it to ensure a layer of protection? Or is there another "better/right" way of doing it? Or are his concerns unfounded? Is there an article about how to encrypt or secure the JSON data when needed? Just trying to gather as much knowledge as possible before I go down a path that won't work for the company.
