We need to implement better security into a C# Windows Desktop Application we are building, and are hoping to get best practices recommendations on the following:
1) "encrypted username / passwords" for connection strings -- actually any technique that will hide the connection string specifics from the user once, the application is built and put into an executable -- possibly by using the Registry.
2) Use of XML for pooling connection strings and the storing of username / passwords in the XML string: building a connection string based on settings in an XML File -- in some encrypted form... see 1) above...
3) NT Authentication for user login.
Thanks for any information you can give us.
