@ -32,9 +32,9 @@ Windows cryptographic modules provide low-level primitives such as:
- Symmetric and asymmetric encryption (support for AES 128/256 and RSA 512 to 16384, in 64-bit increments and ECDSA over NIST-standard prime curves P-256, P-384, P-521)
- Hashing (support for SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512)
- Signing and verification (padding support for OAEP, PSS, PKCS1)
- Key agreement and key derivation (support for ECDH over NIST-standard prime curves P-256, P-384, P-521 and HKDF)
- Key agreement and key derivation (support for ECDH over NIST-standard prime curves P-256, P-384, P-521, and HKDF)
These are natively exposed on Windows through the Crypto API (CAPI) and the Cryptography Next Generation API (CNG) which is powered by Microsoft's open-source cryptographic library SymCrypt. Application developers can leverage these APIs to perform low-level cryptographic operations (BCrypt), key storage operations (NCrypt), protect static data (DPAPI), and securely share secrets (DPAPI-NG).
