Hi,

I need to implement encryption and decryption in java.

Please let me know which encryption method can be implemented. MD5 or DES

I could find MD5 encryption sample java code. But for decryption i couldnot find.

Please help me in proceeding further.

Thanks,
Susmitha.

MD5 isn't an encryption algorithm, but a one-way cryptographic hash function. You can't decrypt the resulting hash value.
For encryption / decryption you'd need a symmetric key algorithm like DES, which you also mentioned in your starting post.
The Java Cryptograhpy Extension reference guide should provide you with the information you need to get going.
