I am trying to encrypt a password before I save it to the database, and then decrypt it when I return it back to my page. I dont wnat anyone to have access to the password from the databse. Any ideas? The password would have to be accessible by different users from diffferent pages. I am on SS 2.5 and Oracle 8i.

Thanks,
Alex

we do something similar in our application. I used a simple encryption algorithm to store the password in the database.

the access to this password is then done with a special business object which all pages have to use.

In our case it is not neccessary to decrypt it but with this concept it would be possible.
