I'm build a windows application where I pass the user id and password to WS
to authenticate the user. I'd like to create a private key to encrypt the
information before passing it to the WS. The WS will, in turn, decrypt the
information using the private key to authenticate the user. The WS is using
a dll which queries the AD to see if the user is valid. I'd like to know
what is the best way to do this? Any pointer would be very helpful. Thanks!

Here is one way using private/public key pair.
