Features: Security and cryptography have always been important components of the computing industry. Over the past few years, their importance has significantly increased. Microsoft’s .NET Framework provides developers with a powerful new toolkit for implementing application security. This book offers practical and accessible guidance for implementing security and cryptography features on .NET-based platforms. The author provides clear and targeted examples written in C# and Visual Basic.NET, explaining in detail how the code works. The book is logically structured, well-organized, and easy to understand. All the example code in the book can be downloaded from the website www.objectinnovations.com/library/books/booksdotnet.html. The main objectives of this book are · To strengthen the fundamental theory of cryptography to understand the functionality of the .NET Framework security tools. · To learn how to use symmetric algorithms, asymmetric algorithms, and digital signatures. · To master traditional encryption programming as well as new technologies like XML encryption and XML signatures. · To introduce how to apply these tools to ASP.NET security and Web service security.
