Secure String Followup
As a follow up on Converting Secure String discussed here: http://bsonposh.com/modules/wordpress/?p=66
Joel “Jaykul” Bennett released this script: http://www.powershellcentral.com/scripts/116
This is a slightly more secure way to store passwords in a text file for use later. Check it out.

I’m not sure if it’s necessarily more secure … since it requires you to pass in a [string] and the built in cmdlet works on SecureString objects.
The method I wrote is, however, not tied into your windows account or even to powershell — Rijndael is the algorithm more commonly known as the AES standard…
I suppose it wouldn’t be that hard to modify it to work with SecureString instead of string.
