URL Encryption

[Amir]

Hi,

Is there a way to securely ecrypt and decrypte a URL? for e.g
encrypting and decrypting using Triple-DES algorithm. Are there any
security implications?


Another question: what is the best way to pass session variables
between ASP.NET to ASP applications.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
amir

Why would you want to do that? What are you trying to achieve?

I want to transfer sessions between ASP and ASP.NET apps

There's also an article on MSDN that covers this topic:
[url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnaspp/html/converttoaspnet.asp[/url]

But what are you trying to protect? The query string? The session id when
using URL rewriting?

Of course you cannot encrypt the URL per se -- but you can protect the
underlying communications channel using HTTPs.
