Network Security Question

[Robert Halstead]

I need to know, what would be the best way to transfer information like
credit card numbres, SSN's, and other private information across the
internet using TCP/IP and C#. I've look in the MSDN but I can't find
anything on implementation. Can someone tell me what classes to use and how
to go about using them. Or Point me in the direction of a good book to use?

Any information will be helpful.

Thanks,
Robert Halstead

Robert,

For the security part, check out the System.Security.Cryptography namespace.
You may want to start with the CryptoStream class.

The System.Net.Sockets namespace defines the TCPClient and TCPListener
classes.

One option is to wrap a socket stream with a crypto stream. Another option
would be to encrypt your data into a string and send that over the TCP
connection.
