Hi guys,
I have made this small database type software using vb.net 2003 and it use .xml database. I need to decrypt this .xml file so that the data could not be manipulate/change by the user. Can anyone give suggestion in encryption and decryption of my database so that it will be well protected.

Any suggestion and help will be highly appreciated.

When I went back to view that article, it told me you needed to sign up to read it. I didn't realize I was logged in when I viewed it. Here is another article that is more specific to encrypting XML data:

Sorry about that,
