Interested in including cryptography and certificates in your
applications,
but don't want to worry about writing code to implement PKCS 7, X.509,
ASN.1, or actually write cryptographic routines yourself?
For more information, check out
http://www.microsoft.com/intdev/security.
It includes presentations on topics such as CryptoAPI 2, Secure Channel
Services (SSL, etc), the Microsoft Certificate Server, Personal
Information
Exchange, Smart Cards and more. It also includes the CryptoAPI 2
developers' release (.dll's, documentation, sample applications and
source
code), WinInet and WinSock 2 interfaces allowing developers to use
Microsoft's implementation of SSL rather than rolling your own.
CryptoAPI 2 gives developers the ability to incorporate certificates in
applications, and removes much of the work of dealing with encapsulation
and encoding. It incorporates all of the cryptography present in
CryptoAPI
1 (key generation, key management, key exchange, encryption and
decryption,
hashing, signing and signature verification). CryptoAPI 2 can be called
from Java, Visual Basic, VB Script, and C/C++.
