Whenever I find myself needing to use a symmetric encryption algorithm, I always seem to write more or less the same code substituting whichever built in .NET cryptography class I need to use. So I decided to write a generic encrypt/decrypt cipher ut...

The RC4 algorithm is a symmetric stream cipher and despite having known security vulnerabilities, RC4 is still widely used. I'm quite fond of RC4 due to the ease of implementation which made RC4 an ideal choice of symmetric encryption algorithm back...

The MD4 hash algorithm is a member of RSA's family of hashing recipes. However, due to certain security design flaws it is no longer used in modern cryptography. Surprisingly, it still plays a vital part in Microsoft Windows NTLM authentication and i...
