Different Techniques To Encrypt Data in Asp.net

hi friend,

.Net framework have providers to support encryption:

Cryptographic primitive	Use
Secret-key encryption (symmetric cryptography)	Performs a transformation on data, keeping the data from being read by third parties. This type of encryption uses a single shared, secret key to encrypt and decrypt data.
Public-key encryption (asymmetric cryptography)	Performs a transformation on data, keeping the data from being read by third parties. This type of encryption uses a public/private key pair to encrypt and decrypt data.
Cryptographic signing	Helps verify that data originates from a specific party by creating a digital signature that is unique to that party. This process also uses hash functions.
Cryptographic hashes	Maps data from any length to a fixed-length byte sequence. Hashes are statistically unique; a different two-byte sequence will not hash to the same value.
