Cryptography Reference

Cryptography reference pages contain detailed descriptions of the Microsoft cryptography functions, interfaces, objects, and other programming elements. These pages include reference descriptions of the API for working with digital certificates, certificate services, and certificate enrollment control.

Reference pages are divided into the following groups.

Section	Description
Cryptography Constants	Constants used by the cryptography functions.
Cryptography Data Types	Data types used by cryptography functions, interfaces, and objects.
Cryptography Enumerations	Enumerations used by cryptographic functions and methods.
Cryptography Functions	Functions used with cryptography and certificate services.
Cryptography Interfaces	Interfaces used with certificate server engines, certificate encoding, and certificate enrollment.
Cryptography Objects	Objects used with CAPICOM and certificate enrollment.
Cryptography Return Values	Return values used by the cryptography functions.
Cryptography Structures	Structures used with cryptography functions, interfaces, and objects.
CryptoAPI Tools Reference	Cryptography command-line tools.
CAPICOM Reference	List of CAPICOM objects and enumerated types.
