C# Data Security Handbook

This will cover the basics of using symmetric and asymmetric cryptography in .NET then we'll go on to examine how to make practical use of these technologies in the following areas:

Secure data exchange: securing online communications is vital to modern e-commerce applications, here we'll look at SSL, TLS, Secure remotoing and implementing cryptographic natively in your applications
Secure data storage: this is actually the more challenging, we'll examine how to store data securely in databases and on the NT file system using Widows secure storage API
Data Integrity: Here we examine the role of hash codes and signatures, either as an add-on to encryption, or in cases where data must be verified against changes
Authentication: Digital signatures still leaves a problem, you know that a person with a certain digital signature sent the message, but how do you know whom that person is
Public Key Infrastructure: managing keys is actually one of the most challenging tasks for any secure application, here we'll look at how to minimise this burden
