    *Resolved* Public-private key encryption?

    Admitted, I am not the great matmatical genious, so I need a little help on making a public-private key encryption system to use with secure IRC chat etc. I know I can use SSL and I found an example of this on www.pscode.com but the problem is, that I am estalishing client-client connections (not server-client) and also I would not like to use certificates etc. I am just looking for some "simple" public-private key encryption algoritm to establish a secure connection with on-the-fly generated keys.

    Any comments and samples are welcome. I know that windows has built-in API's for encryption purposes, the problem is how to use them.

    Please help!

    I think you are missing the picture

    What I need isassymetric public-private key cryptography, not simple symmetric encryption.

    However, I have managed to find numerious samples on www.pscode.com using the MS CryptoAPI.

    Sorry for wasting your time
