Passing Information Securely Between ASP and ASP.NET

ou can transfer information between systems using ASP.NET in multiple ways; however, many are cumbersome, complicated, or insecure. For example, many data transfer methods pass information in plain text, which makes the data vulnerable to both interception and misuse. This article centralizes the methods to interact with data used in both ASP and ASP.NET applications. You achieve this by using the same methods of encrypting and data-packaging in ASP.NET as in classic ASP—in other words, by calling .NET code via COM from classic ASP pages.
