Whilch Column Type to use?

[Michael Caruso]

I need to store encrypted data that uses SHA1 encryption. The function looks like:

_________________________________________________________________
public byte[] EncryptPassword(string password)
{
UnicodeEncoding encoding = new UnicodeEncoding();
byte[] hashBytes = encoding.GetBytes(password);
SHA1 sha1 = new SHA1CryptoServiceProvider();
byte[] encryptPassword = sha1.ComputeHash(hashBytes);
return encryptPassword;
}

__________________________________________________________________

So, what Column Type should I use in my table, and what MySqlDbType should I use with my command parameter?

TIA
