Hi !

I have a question:) I'm using the MD5CryptoServiceProvider class because I
encrypt the user's password when he/she opens the registration form. The
question is when a user creates for his/herself an account where does the
encryption commit? On the client side(his PC) or on the Server side? I think
that it's the second but I'm not sure.That's why I'm asking you:)

Thank you!

Viktor

The password will be transmitted to NSA, where it gets
scanned against terrorist fingeprints. Just kidding ;-)

MD5CryptoServiceProvider doesn't encrypt anything.
It just creates an ireversible hash of the data.

The hash is computed on the machine you're calling
the class, of course.

All the .NET code you write in an ASP.NET application is executed on
the server code. The client may not even have .NET installed.
