Microsoft's .NET Framework provides developers with a powerful set of tools to make their applications secure. This title serves as a practical guide to implementing both the security and the cryptography features found in the .NET platform. It provides examples in both C# and Visual Basic .NET, and a commentary on how the code works.
Part of the Integrated .NET Series, this book provides a practical and comprehensive treatment on implementing both cryptography and security features on the .NET platform — using the C# and VB .NET programming languages. It provides focused and detailed code examples that demonstrate the most important concepts, with commentary on how the code examples work. The book also provides a substantial mathematical and theoretical background on the underlying cryptographic concepts. After reading this book and experimenting with the provided example programs, the reader should have a good understanding of the major cryptographic algorithms and standard cryptographic programming techniques. Readers should also gain a solid understanding of how .NET security works and how to implement user-based and code access security in their own .NET programs.

Peter Thorsteinson is a systems analyst who has been programming, teaching, and developing instructional materials for software development for more than ten years. He is interested in all aspects of C++, Java, and C#, as well as ATL, COM+, .NET, and J2EE. Peter has a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Manitoba, and is coauthor of .NET Architecture and Programming Using Visual C++ and Application Development Using Visual Basic .NET, both published by Prentice Hall PTR. G. Gnana Arun Ganesh is a developer, author and .NET consultant. He leads the .NET Technology Group at Web Prodigies, and is the host of the .NET Reference Guide area on InformIT. Arun is one of the authors of the course material for Object Innovations, which offers training in fundamental software technologies. He has published more than 50 articles about .NET technology on various .NET-related Web sites.
