Encryption

first of all how do i read n write simple text files in vb n secondly how do i encrypt/decrypt data in those text files

First of all, here is a link to CAPICOM, which is M$'s security .dll that will encrypt and decrypt information for you using a variety of methods.

And PINO did a pretty good job explaining the basics of files. There are a couple of ways to do it, but once you learn one way, the others are easier to grasp.

Hope these help you! :wave:


I'll also include a .vbs sample once you get Capicom. It's too big to upload it here. After you install and register it, you can open this in IE.

well the filing was really easy but pls go ahead with copicom encryption !

Here is the SDK
