by default we use 3DES (this is set in the web.config, but can be changed)

Cathal

I wrote something like this

    Private Function Encrypt(ByVal pass As String) As String
        Try
            Dim bt() As Byte = (New System.Text.UnicodeEncoding()).GetBytes(pass)
            Dim pdb As PasswordDeriveBytes = New PasswordDeriveBytes(pass, Nothing)
            Dim key() As Byte = pdb.GetBytes(24)
            Dim iv() As Byte = pdb.GetBytes(8)
            Dim ms As MemoryStream = New MemoryStream()
            Dim tdesc As TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider = New TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider()
            Dim cs As CryptoStream = New CryptoStream(ms, tdesc.CreateEncryptor(key, iv), CryptoStreamMode.Write)
            cs.Write(bt, 0, bt.Length)
            cs.FlushFinalBlock()
            Return Convert.ToBase64String(ms.ToArray())
        Catch ex As Exception
            Throw ex
        End Try
    End Function

but i found that the generated key is different to the saved password encrypted key.

Please help.

Thank you.
