Next one is symmetric algorithms and the last one will be probably a two-parter on public/private key encryption. Or it will be overly simplified. I'm still lacking some info about asymmetric key storage.

This is going to be a great series -- I would be interested to see more about asymmetric key storage but regardless I'm looking forward to the next one.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. The whole deal with key containers is that its not documented very well and I haven't been successful in storing key pairs reliably in anything other than the machine store. Storing it per user is more secure, but I'm still working on getting it right.
