How to do encryption... 1

[tpremore]

Is there a good "built-in" way to do file encryption
with MS Visual C++?

What is the best way to do this?

My goal is to create a simple user login screen
for my application, and I want to encrypt the passwords.

The easiest way to do this is to use a database and store the passwords as a byte field, so that the users cannot see it, or you will have to create a class and the persist the class in a file. The data will not be visible.

Since Byte data is pretty easy to read and translate, I would recomment that you usethe WIN32 Crypto APIs. - Jeff Marler B-)
