Im writing a home accounts application as just for the hell of it. The data will be in an Access2002 database.

I use a laptop and so want to encryt certain fields such as account no, payment amounts etc.

Would using hashtables to write to the database an encryted version of the data a good way to do it or is there a more efficient way?

Thnx
 
Hashtables dont store the data in an encrypted form, the original data is still there. They are more of a performance thing when searching.

Best place to look is
System.Security.Cryptography and its related classes.

A good one to look at would be
System.Security.Cryptography.RSACryptoServiceProvider

ms-help://MS.VSCC.2003/MS.MSDNQTR.2...rsacryptoserviceproviderclassencrypttopic.htm

has a little example of how to use it
