Best encryption algorithm for card info?

[N_K]

Hi,

I'm sort of new to implementing encryption and I need to encrypt credit card info which is to be stored on a database.

Which algorithm given in dotNet is best for this?

Any pointers on implementing it?

I assume I will have a key in my select method and another key in my insert or update methods of the class I am using.

I'd appreciate any advice, pointers or tips.

cheers,

Check out the Rijndael encryption.

Using the microsoft pages on Rijndael ive got an encrypt and decrypt function which all seems great but how do I store the byte array the function creates in the database?

Bit confused.

cheers,
