Hello,
I am developing a simple class to encrypt/decrypt passwords for
storage in a configuration file (XML based). Currently, the key for
the cryptography is stored as a static byte[] in my cryptograpy
class. I imagine that this is not very secure, for when I compile it,
I can easily decompile it to retrieve the key. What is the standard
method for storing a symmetric key in this sort of instance? A single
applet is used to store and retrieve the key from the configuration
file.
Thank you!
James
