MD5CryptoServiceProvider class

[Viktor Popov]

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

If you are using the MD5CryptoServiceProvider on an ASP.Net page, then it is
happening on the server side. If you are using it in something like a
client-side application, then on the client side.

Viktor,

Check out this site, it has some good information about how you can
implement MD5 on the client side so any sensistive data is not readable.
