NET Series, this book provides a practical and comprehensive treatment on implementing both cryptography and security features on the .NET platform - using the C# and VB .NET programming languages. The January CTP of Orcas is now available, and with it comes a total of 12 new cryptography algorithm implementation classes, which include 2.5 new algorithms. The .NET classes involved on the X509 certificate management are those under the System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates namespace. This morning Microsoft released a security update that addresses the ASP.NET Security Vulnerability that I've blogged about this past week. We recommend installing it as soon as possible on your web-servers. (I'll count AES as 0.5 since we did already have Rijndael ). Before it can be used, a digital certificate must be located and loaded. Through a joint effort between members of the ASP.NET security team, the .NET Framework security team, and Microsoft's crypto board, we identified several areas for improvement and set to work drafting changes. Part IV of this book, ".NET Framework Security Administration," covers how administrators can tailor the .NET Framework for their particular organizations. Build and deploy robust Visual C++ .
