Credential Management with the .NET Framework

Tuesday, January 17, 2006

Many months ago I wrote an article about credential management that was targeted at developers writing managed code. Well its finally made its way onto MSDN. Managing secrets with managed code can be tricky so I think this article will be helpful to you if you need to manage credentials from your managed applications.

Credential Management with the .NET Framework 2.0

If you happen to try the MSN Messenger hack I described in the article, keep in mind that the article was written way back when MSN Messenger 7.0 was the latest and greatest version. Subsequent versions have plugged this exploit.

The article also includes a credential management assembly (Kerr.Credentials.dll) that you can use in your applications as well as a couple of security-related tools to add to your collection.

Enjoy!
