Hash, base64, binary encryption, secure random numbers [CAPICOM] -
I got bored today and decided I'd write a better example of using the CAPICOM library with visual basic.
Requirements:
Version: CAPICOM 2.1.0.1
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
Instructions:
1. You will need to download and install this CAPICOM library in order to run this project. Just follow the readme that is included in the download.
2. You must include a reference to CAPICOM in order to use it from within visual basic. All you have to do is go to *project* in the visual basic menu, then *references*. Tick the CAPICOM type library and hit ok, now you should be ready to go.
General Information:
Shows how to encode a message from base64 and back.
Shows how to generate a secure random number. (Number is hex).
Shows how to generate a hash value.
Shows how to encrypt a binary file. *Make sure you do this on a copy*
Shows how to encrypt a simple text message.
Disclaimer:
USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Side Notes:
1. I did zero error handling in this project and didn't test much for incorrect values. In a real project, you would need to add all kinds of error handling code and of course test for incorrect values.
2. Remember this library is simply a wrapper around the windows library. If your running this on windows 98, it will NOT support the same algorithms and key sizes as windows XP.
3. I did lazy file handling for the binary example. I simply loaded an entire file into a buffer and then zipped it through the process. This is fine and dandy until you go to encrypt something like a dvd lol.
4. I just picked out general algorithms to use for the examples, md5 for hash and 3des for encryption. Everything has been mapped out via intellisense in capicom, so as your typing out the function or property, it will popup with your options. Thus I didn't feel the need to comment them out for you.
5. Make sure you use the latest release of capicom when you run this project.
Think thats about it,
Enjoy

In regards to CVMichael's Encryption technique... -
In regards to your encryption program, you repeat the hashing every 16 bytes, correct? Each hash being 16 bytes itself, what happened if you did it every, say, 10 bytes, obliterating the previous hash? Could that make it more secure?
Then again, I know nothing about this subject, an
my encryption algorithm. But is it secure -
I have devised an encryption algorithm, basically it goes like this:
The key is taken and SHA-1 hashed. this creates a 40 key long string.
this string is stored in an array with one character in each variable of the array. the first 40 characters of the message are stored in another
[resolved] [2005] securing an md5 hash -
hi, i need an advice. i am going to be using an md5 hash for login, BUT... i really need this to be secure. i could store that hash in an exe [write back to the program], but there's a problem there since it is possible to edit the program and replace the hash with a known one... what
Storing End-User Passwords In SQL Server Tables -
I am building a web application using SQL Server and VBScript ASPs. I would normally use CAPICOM to hash the passwords and store them in a user table. When the user wants to log in, I hash the string he supplied during the challenge and compare it to the value stored in the DB.

Eisecure asymmetric encryption -
From what a can see from a brief excusion into capicom dll, is that the following symmetric encryption algorithms can be implemented:
RSA RC2 encryption, RSA RC4 encryption, DES encryption, or triple DES encryption.
The example in MSDN only uses symmetric encryption, but I was i
CAPICOM prerequitsites (RESOLVED) -
Hello everybody
I want to use CAPICOM to digitally encrypt a password in my application. I know that CAPICOM is based on CryptoAPI. I have downloaded and installed the latest Microsoft SDK. Does this contain both the CAPICOM and CryptoAPI libraries? Also, in order to use CAPICOM wha
Dummy Encrypt -
It wlll add a random number between 0-9 to every sencond charcter in a string i find it very usfull if u are trying to use base64 on a more protected level as if u encrypt the same string twice the output would be different as it insterts random numbers even tho this isent as advance a
VB - 128, 160 and 256 Bit File Encryption/Decryption with MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 -
For those of you who think that hashing is used for one way encryption only, you need to learn how to think "outside of the box"
This project is using the well known MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 to encrypt and decrypt files. I came up with the algorithm myself sometime last year,
Hash function -
I was testing the Hash function today.
And I read here http://il2.php.net/manual/en/function.hash.php
If I set the parameter $raw_output=true the function will return a binary rows instead of hexits values.
But when I try it it returns a strange characters instead of binary value
Encryption questions -
I would like to write an encryption program. I am planning on using Rijndael encryption algorithm using the 256 bit key.
Question the 256 bit key is that just 32 standard ASCII characters? 8 bits= 1 byte= 1character?
In dealing with the password, key is it better to maybe hash
Capicom and crypt binary files -
Hi ,i'm looking for a dll to encrypt birnary and text files , i think that capicom dll can do it ,but it's possible to encrypt binary files? ,i had tryed but i can't ,does anybody can show me an example?
Thanks ,
One-Time Pad Encryption -
My company just had me lead the development team for a new encryption program we were releasing. It basically broke down a password with the ascii numbers and put them through an algorithm. Using the algorithm results, it reads fifty numbers out of a random encrypted list (the pad) of

Random vs Binary files Performance -
Can anyone tell me if there is a difference in speed between openig random files and binary files ?
My program processes files containing fixed length records - so I can use random access (get and put the record numbers) or binary access (using Seek to get to the right position - recl
[VB6] CryptoAPI MD5 Hash -
The attached project is a simple demonstration of using the Windows Crypto functions to create a hash. The example produces an MD5 hash of a file or a typed in string and returns it in hex.
It could easily be modified to return a Byte array of the hash, and could also easily perfor
Add Powerful Encryption To Your Visual Basic Programs -
I thought I would show you an easy way to add powerful encryption to your visual basic programs. Up till now, you either had to write the chipers in a fast language like C or deal with the CryptoAPI. Either way you went, it was very complex with uneven documentation. But lucky for the
Network Security Conundrum -
Alrite, so I'm ready to use the Capicom encryption component from microsoft to secure some messages between a client app and a server app. I plan on having them send certain messages back and forth that are often times identical, but their quantity is important. Anyways, here is the
How to create a Hash -
I'd like to create the same hashes that windows does, i know it uses LM HASH and NT HASH.
I'd like to know if there is any function or api to create the same hash that windows does.
for exemple, this hash: 36c3363007203fd4aad3b435b51404ee
was created for the password: 12ast89

Hash password probabilities -
Still learning about how hashes work, so I don't know if this question even makes sense.
As I understand it, it's possible for a hash to represent more than one combination of characters. Say I have an authentication system which verifies a user password based on a hash. Is there a ce
Cracker Challenge #6 -

The system is pretty secure and if u dont believe me.. try for yourself... Try cracking the attached EXE. The program attached is a simple program that generates a random number. Ba
base64 -
i made a base64 dll for training and compare perfs with other people : I am so slow since I do it through strings.
Even if I build tables at class initialize event to lookup instead computing, I am still terribly slow

The power of RND -
Hi,
I'm making a program that will need to randomize two numbers. The problem is that the numbers are not close to each other like 1 to 2. The numbers are something like 2 to 6. But you understand, I only want to random one of those two numbers. If I said:

The problem I am facing is that if a user enters a number, ex: 1,2
