Security :: Finding Or Writing Hash Function - Convert Word To Number
Jan 14, 2010I am tasked with a project to convert words from strings to numbers . I have to do this while ensuring collision-avoidance. i.e training -> 10232323
We are storing the numbers in a database and when we retrieve the records from the database, we will reverse hash and convert the number back to a string
10232323 -> training
As you might have guessed - this is not an area that I am familiar with. I researched the overridable System.Object.GetHashCode() method, but Microsoft warns that there is little guarantee that the default implementation of GetHashCode() avoids collisions.
So I am left stuck. I would like to create an algorithm, but I have no idea where to start.
Also, the function should accept unicode characters - in the event the company decides to internationalize.

Security :: Reset Passwords / Create User / Recover Passwords On An Intranet
Aug 4, 2010My issue today is that i have a MySQL Database and am using the security framework provided by the ASP.NET Membership and Role Providers...I override the default methods with my own MySQL.
Now the issue comes in when i someone would like to have their password reset. My application is running entirely on an Intranet so i cannot have their passwords emailed to them. Is there a way i can have this information displayed in any way so that the user can use it to Log Reset, Create Accounts or Recover their lost passwords on an intranet without the administrators intervention?
Recently i had an approach as follows. In my web.config<system.net><mailSettings><smtp deliveryMethod="pickupDirectoryLocation" and my location was a folder on C drive as c:/SavedPasswords. Now i understand this was such a big security threat and thats why i am looking for a better option.
I would have that folder created using my System.IO and then the Mail is dropped into that folder. Then after the process is successful, i tell the user to check into that location and Read its content.
Then there is a global variable that is set to true...meaning that the folder at c:/ has been created. then there is a Method in a certain class that once it sees this variable True, it reads the readers c:/ and deletes that folder "save" if it exists;
Security :: Change Existing Clear Passwords To Encrypted Passwords?
Aug 4, 2010I have a small database, with a very small number of users. The passwords were stored as clear as the database was so small and held no sensitive data. The database is now to be expanded and passwords are required to be encrypted. I can change the Password Format in the web.config, but is there a way to change the existing passwords from clear to encrypted?
View 1 RepliesCalling Classic Asp Function That Creates Hash Value
Mar 7, 2010I've a pre-supplied public function in classic asp that creates a hash value - it is pretty complex and I'd rather not convert it to .net if at all possible (mainly as I don't understand half of what it does!) I'm running it under IIS7 on VWD2008 express. How would you call a function in that asp file? do you have to redirect or as it is #included into the asp.net file, is there an eaiser way? At the moment the complier does not spot the function and says it is not declared.

Apr 23, 2010I need to pass some info to a 3rd party (for tracking) and they require I provide a checksum value which is an md5 hashed amalgamation of some of the other values. This is my code :
[Code]....
They keep rejecting my checksum. When I have tested for the following value passed in preConvert - 300265215063.79 I get :
My code gives : ED4463C84DE9D21B54C4E62F2D72CE
An online MD5 hash gives : 0ed40463c84de9d21b54c4e62f2d72ce
Which apart from the case, is exactly the same apart from missing 2 zeroes.

Nov 1, 2010I want the login password to not be sent in plaintext (due to the risk of hijacking). I know that this can be achieved in principle using MD5 or the like, but is there a common implementation for use with Asp.Net? Of course, it's crucial that the resulting hash (?) isn't easy to decrypt. When I read various posts on this matter, some people say it's just to do a reverse on the encrypted string, so that in effect, this is totally useless.

Security :: Best Way To Store Passwords In MS SQL 2005/2008?
Feb 1, 2011I need to store passwords provided by the user. Yes, passwords. I could not use Hashes because I need to supply the password to another external service for authentication, and therefore I need to have the password.
What is the best and most secure way to store the passwords? As the external data provides private data it is of course very important that the password in my MS SQL DB is stored as safe as possible.
Security :: Embedding Plain-text Passwords?
Nov 19, 2010I'm looking to create my application as secure as possible. Now I have following line of code:
[Code]....
As you can see, my password is in plain-text in the code. Now, I presume it's easy to decompile a code using a tool and getting your hands on the password. Since these are my AD Admin-credentials this is not that good.The AuthenticationTypes are secure, I think. They encrypt the data before sending it to the network.So there's just the problem of the plain-text password. I've searched for it on Google but can't find the proper solution. I've found alot about encrypting passwords in the web.config.
