Hi list. My question is not really related to mono.
I'm writing an application that stores passwords in a mysql database. I'm using System.Security.Cryptography namespace, and DES simetric algorithm. When i create a new instance of DESCryptoServiceProvider the key and IV (initialization vector) are generated randomly. After, i use these key and IV to crypt and decrypt passwords in the login screen of my application. Well, this system is safe enough to me, but i have the problem that where i can to store these key and IV to future use? I could to write IV and key in hard code in my custom class, but this is not elegant. Is a good idea to store them in the web.config? If not ¿where can be a good and safe place to store it? Any help will be appreciated. Best regards. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
