I am using RijndaelManaged 128 bit encryption to encrypt passwords in my ASP.NET application. What should the password column size be in the database (SQL Server 2008).
Microsoft uses nvarchar(128) for their SqlMembershipProvider which provides for Rijndael symmetrical encryption and a maximum password size of 128, so I would say that’s a safe bet. Obviously, if you allow for longer passwords, you’ll need more space.
