Question, I need to trasfer data securely from one computer to another,
I came up with the following solution:
1> Client connect to server, recieve a public key (created for this
spesific connection only). - RSA 4096 bit
2> Using the public key, the client create a 256 bit key & 128 bit IV,
encrypt them, and send them to server.
3> All following data trasfer is done using the above key & IV using -
RjindaelManaged

How secured is this?
(I think that SSL is using this methord, or something similar, am I
correct?)
I've heard that RjindaelManaged does not work on all .Net platform -
only on XP, is this true? I need a minimun of XP, 2000, and probably 98
& ME as well for this to work.
