"Security.SecureString" for .NET 1.1 ?

[Mike McGuire]

I currently have a .NET 2.0 Application that uses "Security.SecureString" to securly pass a password to the process that I am starting within the app. I want to create something similar for a few of our web servers, but the web team does not want to install .NET 2.0 on the servers

Is there anything similar to "Security.SecureString" for .NET 1.1?

There is nothing built into 1.1. What is the issue installing 2.0 on the
servers? It won't impact 1.1 applications.

I'm afraid native SecureString base class is supported since version
2.0.
