Are there some examples for encryption on Pocket PC from .Net CF?

I noticed that Opennetcf.org had some encryption libraries, but no examples
of using them.

My needs are:
Encrypt and decrypt dates, numbers, strings to stor in text file or
registry.
Not too many steps, hopefully.
Assurance that it will work on any Pocket PC 2002 or later.

This sounds like what I need. Will the APIs used by the Crypto sample be
avaliable on all Pocket PC platforms?

Nathan
 
Thanks, this is a good example.

I notice that there is a message box that says:

"The high encryption pack must be installed. Please install and try again."

Is this "high encryption pack" preinstalled on Pocket PC? On which versions?
Or does it need to be installed with the application?

Not sure if it comes with some PPCs or not - I just know it's required and
wasn't on the device I was programming with (which was a PPC 2003) so I
coded defensively. I'd assume you need to deploy it with the app.

I definitely had to deploy to a 3835, which is PPC 2002, as well (just hard
reset it and tried again).
