    Resolved [RESOLVED] [2.0][2005] Encrypting password in XML Config file

    Hi,

    I'm looking to store a password which is used when connecting to a default ftp site via my app in an XML config file. I need to be able to retrieve this each time the program in loaded.

    I was wondering what the best way was to do this? I know that hashing encryption techniques are only one way and not suitable for the purpose. If using someting like a Symetric or Asymetric password i require a key which i presume would have to be hard coded into the application.

    Is there a better way of doing this or will the latter method i suggested be the advised solution?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Grant
