Sounds excellent - especially the ATL implementation. For scripting, you are right it will take fudging...script doesn't like binary data. It is possible to coerce binary into text and vice-versa though, just takes an extra layer of wrapping in script to do it right. - Original Message

I hadn't thought about that, but the decryption mechanism I have works from the registry value, not the transmitted text - it's just the same thing as the internal check VNC does to compare the password in the registry to what it has received. What I'm after, though, is to encrypt a text password
