Winsock encryption via VB

Hi,
Have created an app that opens a winsock port to transmit info. However, this transmission needs to be secure.

Can I encrypt the outgoing data (and decrypt it on the other side) using VB and the Winsock control? Can't find any info on it.

Thanks!

Look into standard encryption algorithms with VB. Once you get that down, it shouldn't be that hard to send the encrypted string thru winsock rather then something like saving it to a file.
