authentication

Hi! I am new to .NET, and don't have much experience in programming. What is the standard way of handling user authentication in .NET in the following situation?

In Process A, User inputs ID/Password
Process A sends the ID/Password to Process B over a nonsecure public channel.
Process B authenticates the user with the recieved ID/Password

what are some of the standard cryptographic algorithms I can use in above model?

thank you for your time!

I am new to .NET, and don't have much experience in programming. What is the standard way of handling user authentication in .NET in the following situation?

1.In Process A, User inputs ID/Password

2.Process A sends the ID/Password to Process B over a nonsecure public channel.

3.Process B authenticates the user with the recieved ID/Password

what are some of the standard cryptographic algorithms I can use in above model?

The users(customers that bought my company's software) will be running the software(Process A) locally in their computer(connected to internet). I need to authenticate the users so that only registered users can run the program.

Thank You!
