.NET security and cryptography

Learn how to make your .NET applications secure! Security and cryptography, while always an essential part of the computing industry, have seen their importance increase greatly in the last several years. Microsoft's .NET Framework provides developers with a powerful new set of tools to make their applications secure. NET Security and Cryptography is a practical and comprehensive guide to implementing both the security and the cryptography features found in the .NET platform. The authors provide numerous clear and focused examples in both C# and Visual Basic .NET, as well as detailed commentary on how the code works. They cover topics in a logical sequence and context, where they are most relevant and most easily understood. All of the sample code is available online at . This book will allow developers to: - Develop a solid basis in the theory of cryptography, so they can understand how the security tools in the .NET Framework function - Learn to use symmetric algorithms, asymmetric algorithms, and digital signatures - Master both traditional encryption programming as well as the new techniques of XML encryption and XML signatures - Learn how these tools apply to ASP.NET and Web Services security Annotation Learn how to make your .NET applications secure!

It provides focused and detailed code examples that demonstrate the most important concepts, with commentary on how the code examples work. The book also provides a substantial mathematical and theoretical background on the underlying cryptographic concepts. After reading this book and experimenting with the provided example programs, the reader should have a good understanding of the major cryptographic algorithms and standard cryptographic programming techniques. Readers should also gain a solid understanding of how .NET security works and how to implement user-based and code access security in their own .NET programs.
