Encryption + Cookies + Security

Have been hunting around the forums and there didnt seem to be any solid answers on saving usernames in cookies + encrypting them (and encrypting anything else like credit card details etc)

Anyway, I found this link really useful, it explains encryption and has the source code for setting cookies and Standard DES and Triple DES encryption using the .net framework.

I figured others might also find it useful. Enjoy....

To expand on the above TripleDES this is an example on RSA encryption for those who'd like even more security

while I'm creating a thread relevant to encryption / security....

This contains a few tips on the security side of ASP.NET, real useful stuff even if you think you are gods gift to coding, this is still a good read :]
