Web Development

pankaj,

See my article on the topic of encryption with VB at this URL:

http://www.techrepublic.com/article.jhtml?id=r00820010521sem01.htm

No matter what you do, if it is encrypted in the table, it will appear encrypted. You'll need to write a small VB app with the decryption routine for the admin to view the passwords.

The download of the encryption DLL is available on my website, www.pointweb.net.

Point is, what you put in the database is what you also see.

The essence of encryption in applications is that you should first encrypt data before you insert these in the database, and when getting the data from the database, you should decrypt it so as to view "human readable" data.

I suggest that you create encryption and decryption functions in your ASP code. This should help secure your database data aside from the security that the SQL database itself implements.

You may createyour own encryption algorithm or better yet, implement n-DES, there are lots of resources about this on the Net.

good luck.
