This tutorial explains how to use the .NET security and cryptographic classes, and functions as a reference manual for developers seeking to understand security implementation in the .NET Framework. Additionally, the .NET Framework requires understanding in many new areas like managed code, permissions, and evidenceall of which this dynamic book covers.
