Encryption/Decryption in .Net

[shweta]

Hello,

I am totally new to .Net.

Is there a way to decrypt data encrypted by JCE using a private key in .Net?

ANY help, preferably with code samples, would be great!

Thanks in advance,
shweta

I don't know what JCE is, but the Cryptography namespace in .NET has all the major encryption (both symmetic and asymmetric) algorithms in it.

Hmmm....I love silly questions.....

How can you use the JAVA Cryptography Extension in .Net? Would you try to use a .Net class in Java?

Lookup the System.Security.Cryptography namespace.

Thank you for your responses.

As it turns out we did have to use the system.security objects to decrypt the data (which was, btw, encrypted using JCE and my question was how I could decrypt the data using .Net, not how I could use JCE in .Net). It took us some time but it was pretty straightforward in the end.

Here are some useful links related to this, for anyone else stuck with this problem.
