But the problem is, that I don't want to use several different algorithms, jus' to simplify things. I want an algorithm that is strong enough to encrypt my exe, dll, and unused code; that can also be used to check the downloaded file(s).

I jus' thought of something I could make fake files (exe, dll, cfg, etc) encrypted with the flawed md5 algorithm and check the authenticity of them, and if they're tampered with I can see what program, when, how, etc. accessed it. While using the more secure algorithm to keep the real files safe.

The method I'm talking about is not encryption, it is pretty much just checking to see if the file's OK.

Via a encryption algorithm(?).


Update ::

Searching around I found some encryption algorithms that have pretty good reputations such as Blowfish, Serpent, Twofish, AES-256; and, downloaded some source code in C and C++.

Lets see if I know how to use them now. (I don't)


Well what do you know, Visual Studio 2008 has incorporated the TripleDES encryption algorithm already...

I get an Invalid Operation exception.
I cannot, at all, figure out why.
Even when I comment things out it still doesn't work.
I have to delete all of it to fix it.
I don't even know....


Edit ok it has something to do with the FileStream Declaration, I
hard coded it and it works now. But it only does so many characters.

How do I encrypt a file?
When I encrypt a file I get
code
8f588de478ee81a213fe9e1be0a78131

When the other programs encrypt a file they get
code
浜ᙴ榈屠훗췜댳ꁵ퇳


And theirs goes on and on...how do I get it like that?

LIST GET GO NAO

1. Create new file for user - say there's been an update, or whatever.

2. Run this file through an MD5 hash, record the filesize and a magic number or something easily identifiable about the file.

3. Open a secure channel with the user, send file to them.

4. When user receives file, take MD5 hash of this file, compare to serverside hash, they should be the same. Also compare filesize, whatever other data you took.

This method should ensure that there have been no file download errors and that the file wasn't interfered with, to a fairly high certainty. I think.

Also drop the Mandarin characters, or whatever they are, we don't need to see them. All it means is the program is trying to interpret the data in the encrypted file as Unicode and surprise surprise, all the hex strings are in the high ranges :)

But it doesn't fully encrypt it it only encrypts the first 128 bytes....

An md5 sum folds all the data in a file into a hex string. My list explains everything!


But, your list, explains it as if I know what you (or I) is talking about.


But, I have the Blowfish source code (Blowfish is supposed to be really good), its in C; but, when I try to compile it it says something about it cannot compile with the clr option or whatnot.
how me fix problem?

Also I decided to use C#. If I get the Blowfish algorithm to work and compile it into a dll (as a subroutine or function) can I use it in my C# program (since its in C)?
Oh wait I have the code in the C++ as well.

Ok it compiles now.

Ok it compiles and everything (in c++), but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to call anything to actually encrypt anything. Here are the source files, hopefully someone can tell me how to use it. (They are txt format)

blowfish.h
blowfish.h2
blowfish.cpp

No documentation about using it, jus' about how and why it was made. Google ain't no help either.


this is all the documaentation i have

Ok, this one book I got from Amazon.com is so helpful. I might take another stab at encryption.

This is my code:

C# code
private void Bscan_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { scanForm Form = new scanForm(); Form.Show(); this.Dispose(); } private void Bconfig_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { configForm Form = new configForm(); Form.Show(); this.Dispose(); }


This is my problem:
The entire application closes.
When I substitute
code
this.Dispose();
with
code
this.Hide
my application WONT close.

Where would I be able to find virus databases, you know those things that the scanner uses?

I think each company keeps their own but as far as I'm aware there is one open site that has an index of all viruses, could be wrong though.

So I decided to stop worrying about all the hard stuff, and jus' get my ui to work, and my conceptual overview correct. So I got the scan form to open a process called avscan; the problem is I want the option to have a full and fast scan. How would I accomplish this without have to write separate executables for the full and fast scan? Is there a way to send a parameter or option to the avscan.exe? I want the scanning engine to be a separate executable not a function or sub routine in the ui.


code
private void Bfullscan_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { //string avscandir = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\avscan.exe"; //MessageBox.Show(avscandir, "this.Show"); try { System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\avscan.exe","full"); } catch (Exception exeption) { MessageBox.Show("There was a problem starting the scan." + exeption.ToString(), "Error"); } } private void Bfastscan_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { try { System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\avscan.exe", "fast"); } catch (Exception exeption) { MessageBox.Show("There was a problem starting the scan." + exeption.ToString(), "Error"); } }
