Hi, Ideally your database should store encrypted password and that to one way
encryption. That means the password cannot be decrypted. MD5 is one of the algo u can
use which is a one way hash algo. Following is a sample code which might help u.
Public Function GetEncryptedPassword(ByVal pass As String) As String Implements
IEncryption.GetEncryptedPassword
'Encrypt the passord
Dim md5Hasher As New MD5CryptoServiceProvider()
Dim encoder As New UTF8Encoding()
Dim encPasswordAsBytes() As Byte
Dim encPasswordAsString As String
Dim tmp(20) As Char encPasswordAsBytes =
md5Hasher.ComputeHash(encoder.GetBytes(pass))
'encPasswordAsBytes.CopyTo(tmp, 0)
'GetEncryptedPassword = New String(tmp) Dim sb As New
System.Text.StringBuilder()
Dim outputByte As Byte
For Each outputByte In encPasswordAsBytes
' convert each byte to a Hexadecimal upper case string
sb.Append(outputByte.ToString("x2").ToUpper)
Next outputByte md5Hasher = Nothing
encoder = Nothing GetEncryptedPassword = sb.ToString()
End Function regards, tpb
