Suppose that a group wants to encrypt some information, then share the encryption key among the group members in a way that requires the consensus of the group to decrypt the information. I'm interested in a variety of scenarios where the breadth of consensus ranges from unanimity to an absolute majority. A useful technique can apply to ...
Hi,
When creating the instance, the KEY and IV are generated for me.
RijndaelManaged myRijndael = new RijndaelManaged();
How can I store the Key in my database or web.config file?
And in what format?
Because I will have to load the key when trying to decrypt the encrypted string obviously.
thanks for your help, a little lost on th...
I was reading this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tswxhw92(VS.80).aspx
The first sentence says: "Asymmetric private keys should never be stored verbatim or in plain text on the local computer."
What's the problem with this? And how does a key container solve it.
The reason I'm asking is that I want to generate an asymm...
Has anyone got practical experience or a reference for a scheme that implements a key management scheme that would comply with the PCI DSS security standard?
There are obviously quite a few implementations around given the number of companies compliant with PCI DSS but trying to find details of them is tough. When it gets down to stori...
ssh-add -l displays that I have 3 RSA keys added to my SSH agent. ssh-add -L displays the public keys. How do I get the private keys as well, so that I can save them to a file? Or is it by design that this is impossible, i.e. ssh-agent can be asked to do operations using the private key, but it will never return the key itself? If it is ...
I want to store some small but critical piece of information such as AES keys in my Android application. What would be the recommended way to do this? I do not want to hardcode keys as part of my application.
I look at KeyStore but it does not really solve my problem. It can store my keys given that I can provide a password. Then I need...
For PCI compliance, is there any recommended Encryption Key Management Software? Open source preferable, but commercial is ok too. Is there a tool or software that provides both?
