My company has a product that was developed using AspEncrypt, now in the new version we are no longer using AspEncrypt but we need to mantain compatibility. in the previous version of the application we had something like this :

Function Encrypt() as string


             Dim CM As ASPENCRYPTLib.CryptoManager


             Dim AspEncContext As ASPENCRYPTLib.ICryptoContext


             Dim Key As ASPENCRYPTLib.ICryptoKey


             Dim Blob As ASPENCRYPTLib.ICryptoBlob


             Dim Hash As ASPENCRYPTLib.ICryptoHash





             CM = New ASPENCRYPTLib.CryptoManager





             AspEncContext = CM.OpenContext("", True)





             Key = AspEncContext.GenerateKeyFromPassword("Password", , , 40)


             Blob = Key.EncryptText("texttoencode")





             Return CStr(Blob.Hex)


End Function

The function above produces the folowing value : "50A87060FEF3A12E0E76EADCA83FDB33"

What i neen is some way to get the same value using .Net CryptoProviders. This is very important because we have hundreds of applications and we need to maintain compatibility

I would apreciate any help in this matter.

Thanks!!!!

I also want to replace aspencrypt with managed .net code for encryption/decryption. Any help in the matter is highly appreciated. I know someone outthere did this.

Please help us get rid of this perfomance killing component. It started throwing errors since we are running it on framework 2.0.

Thanks in advance.

Jack.

Can you write a batch program to call AspEncrypt to decrypt and then encrypt using a Dot Net algorithm?

(You will need to check the length required to store the newly encrypted string)
