Can you elaborate more on this topic, encrypt passwords for your website? How are you storing the passwords and is it for logging in or something else? Cheers, MC
if it's for php, dan use md5 hashing or something like that. you cannot decrypt those!! so basicly, what you have to do, is encrypt your passwords in your file/database. and then when a user enters his password, you encrypt the word he entered and compare the two encrypted words. it's hypersafe
If you want to ecncrypt a file o a text try kremlin(http://www.kremlinencrypt.com/), there is also a little introduction to the different kind of cryptographic algorithms

(using shadow passwords) so they will automatically be hashed. for other types of encryption... a good program for public/private key pair encryption is GnuPG (GPG) or for hard disk encryption there is a good script called cryptsetup (uses kenrel level dm-crypt)
i reccomond to use vb script so that you can use jvencrypt or so to encrypt your stuff with least effort

you're still not very clear.
answer these questions: -where should the usernames & pw be stored? mysql database? file? -where do the users enter their name/password? php-website, like a form? or a program they download and connects to your server? -do you have to be able to decrypt them? this is NOT neccessary to check if their password is correct. let's say you store the encrypted version of username & pw. and a user is entering his info. than all you have to do is encrypt the info he entered and then compater it with the info in your database/file -why encrypt the username? doesn't seem very handy to me.

Sending Files securely..... you probably mean you want to encrypt them right ? use GnuPG (GPG) goto http://gnupg.org/
I would probobly recommend PHP's MD5 hashing functions for encrypting web-based content. The only problem that this might cause is that it is a one-way encryption algorithm; meaning that it can never be decrypted. As such, it is only really useful for passwords, where the user enters a password and it is re-hashed using the same algorithm and salt, and then the two hashed strings are compared.
