    You will have to write code to encrypt the password also you should add salt. lol

    I had wrote a nice little application for a contest it has a hashing class that will hash in any of these hashs SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, or MD5. It will also create a random salt value, but I can not upload the zip file to this web board.

    What language do you code in? I wrote this application in VB.

    You could also encrypt the data in the database by using a/symmetric keys, depending on your security requirement. You should read SQL books online to perform this technique, as it is quite convoluted. This method increases the security of your data, because it is encoded against a database master key which remains outside of an application.

    Ok I send it, should be in our in box.

     Take Care and Happy Coding.

     

    Edit: Isn't vb.net 2003 frameworks 1.1? I wrote my hashing class in vb.net 2005 frameworks 2.0.
