Net framework 4.0 and I get the error message "The cryptographic operation failed due to a local security option setting." Also, if I try to install IE8, I get the message "Setup could not verify the intergrity of the file Update.inf. NET security works and how to implement user-based and code access security in their own .NET programs. Relatively speaking, how much effort would it be to hack into my always-on-the-internet desktop, and subvert it? Where "random" means generated by either a True Random Number Generator (TRNG) or Crypto Secure Psudo Random Number Generator (CSPRNG) and "long" means 15 or more charecters long. From the Back Cover Learn how to make your .NET applications secure! Because like it or not one thing we can say that is passwords have been with I think there comes a point where you have to say "good enough". .NET class SHA1Managed implements it. In .NET, security and cryptography related stuff is located in System.Security.Cryptography namespace. The membership provider can be configured to use any CLR class that implements System.Security.Cryptography.HashAlgorithm, always with a 16-byte salt, and the out-of-the-box hash algorithms are:. That's because Microsoft have crypto-experts on staff, and they've also pioneered the SDL which means you should expect high quality implementations of their (security critical) software. Our hero of the day will be SHA1 algorithm. Part IV of this book, ".NET Framework Security Administration," covers how administrators can tailor the .NET Framework for their particular organizations. This morning Microsoft released a security update that addresses the ASP.NET Security Vulnerability that I've blogged about this past week. We recommend installing it as soon as possible on your web-servers.
