Encryption/Decryption Vb Urgent

Hi

I would like to use a secure API call to encrypt and decrypt a password using Vb 6. Unfortunately, I do not want to use Crypto API.

Can anyone please provide an alternative API method to encrypt/decrypt a password?

Any speedy answers would be most appreciated

Many thanks

Thanks for the comments guys.

Ideally I would like to use a built in API call found in existing DLLs.

This is to run on a thin client environment, so unfortunately there are restrictions on the DLLs etc that can be installed.

If there is a built in alternative to Crypto API, then it would be ideal.

In additon, jamime_olivares, thanks for the post, but I cannot view your suggestion unless I subscribe. Please can you paste it into this question, if its suitable.

Many thanks

Have you tried using advapi32.dll, which has CryptEncrypt and CryptDecrypt functions? It is a standard Windows DLL. I used it in my application. Hope that helps!
