Dear all,

What is the guide line or rules to selectr the proper enryption type like
DES, triple DES, RCA2, Rinjnael ?

Does the selected always the hihest bits encryption is the key in spite of
performance ??

thnaks for comments

regards

As you are refering to symmetric encryption, I take it that you have been
able to exchange the secret key used on both sides in a secure manner?

Provided this key is exchanged securely - Rijndael also known as AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard) is ratified by the US government  (I think in
2002?) and approved for "secure communication". The other options implemented
in .NET for symmetric encryption I would say are simply not sufficient in
"prof" applications.

Thanks about your comment..
What about hashing like SHA1, MD5,... do we always have to hash with Highest
bits ?

How to select  hashing algorithm ?
