The Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Standard
Published: 01 Aug 2007 Views: 6,125 Avg Rating: 5/5 Votes: 2 Comments: 3
The Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Standard describes an algorithm which allows two individual parties to separately generate the same secret key but by only sharing non sensitive data. This article discusses the Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement algorithm, providing an implementation in .NET, before discussing areas not covered by the algorithm.

Hashing, MACs, and Digital Signatures in .NET
Published: 10 Nov 2006 Views: 21,573 Avg Rating: 5/5 Votes: 1 Comments: 7
This article covers what the differences are between hashing, MAC and digital signatures. It presumes a certain level of knowledge about encryption methods especially the difference between symmetric and asymmetric encryption. The article does not cover how to perform encryption or about key management. There are some code examples on how to perform each of the technologies using C# in .NET v2.0.
