security_asp thread: Re: encrypted cookies


Message #1 by "Brandon" <patricrat@h...> on Wed, 9 May 2001 17:17:50
Anthony,

When I am developing on MS Platforms I usually use dlls or web classes to 
encrypt cookies/session/application variables. I would suggest you do the 
same. If you are interested I have developed a dll makes use of the NSA's 
declassified (c. 1998) Skipjack 2.0 encryption method. You could also use 
Microsoft's crypto API. Personally, I think the crypto API is a wee bit to 
simple, not to mention insecure. If MS doesn't publish the source code 
with the API, how can we really be sure they haven't written in 
a 'backdoor'? If you are interested in the dll, just tell me and I can 
provide you with the code.

Regards,

Brandon
