Info re: .NETs System.Security.Cryptography

I posted a relatively specific question in the Security section about implementing encryption in ASP.NET but I was just wondering if anyone had any favorite sites for samples/tutorials/discussions - that they happened to notice delves into asymmetric encryption - which they'd like to share. This is also a quasi-shameless reference to cross-post to my original thread (http://forums.dev-archive.com/showthread.php?t=150171), sure, but it can't hurt to ask ... ;)

Greatly appreciated, indeed.

Hi

Here's a white paper that goes into a great deal of detail, including code samples:

http://www.charteris.com/publications/whitepapers/default.asp

It's entitled:

Cryptographic Algorithms Guidance for Developers

This gives details of what's missing in .Net 1.1, and where you have to use CAPICOM to use asymmetric crypto properly.

Another paper, on the same site, is entitled:

Security Solutions Offered by Visual Studio .Net 2005 (Whidbey)

This has been presented at Microsoft, and shows how .Net 2.0 has bridged gaps in it's cryptographic implementations. The code samples are based on the beta of Whidbey, but I've updated them recently for implementations.

Hope this helps
