EntLib 2.0 Cryptography Block without keyfile   

Is it possible to use the ENTLIB Cryptography Block without using a
keyfile.  In addition to keyfile management
my team is also concerned about performance.  In this particular
instance, we are using the cryptography block to enccrypt and decrypt
query strings and the crypto block would see heavy usage.

Any information or feedback is welcome.

Regards,
Tracy Bannon

Tracy,

    You should be able to use the ENTLIB Cryptography Block without using a 
keyfile.  You would have to take the source that is distributed with the 
enterprise library and compile it yourself.

    As for performance, you have to measure that for yourself, and determine 
if it is acceptable for your needs.
