A colleague of mine found a real gem for encrypting sensitive data!
 
TrueCrypt is an open source initiative.
  1. Truecrypt encrypts with 256 bits and more...
  2. Truecrypt lets you choose encryption between AES, BlowFish, TwoFish, Serpent and Tripple DES.
  3. You can use 'cascade Ciphering' , using multiple encryptions like AES-TwoFish-Serpent (high security, but slower performance, off course).
  4. Install TrueCrypt by placing the .exe and the .sys files in the root of your USB and the programm will start on every PC where you use the USB stick.

I stumbled across this site: http://www.albahari.com/threading/
It offers a nice free e-book on threading in C#. I haven't had time to read it but it looks quite good.
