Cryptography OS Design Development (Windows CE 5.0)
Cryptography Services for Microsoft® Windows® CE 5.0 provides services that enable application developers to add security to applications using cryptography. It includes functionality for encoding to and decoding from ASN.1, for hashing, encrypting, and decrypting data, for using digital certificate, and for managing certificates.
OS Design Information
The following table shows operating system design information for Cryptography.
| Element | Information |
|---|---|
| Dependencies | Smart Card CSP requires the smart card resource manager and CryptoAPI 1.0. |
| Hardware considerations | None. |
Modules and Components
The following table shows the components and modules that implement Cryptography Services.
| Item | Module | Component |
|---|---|---|
| Cryptography Services (CryptoAPI 1.0) with High Encryption Provider | coredll, rsaenh | coredll module: cryptapi |
| Low Encryption Provider (Microsoft Base Cryptographic Service Provider) | rsabase | None |
Cryptography Services Implementation Considerations
The following table shows the Sysgen variables that enable Cryptography Services.
| Sysgen variable | Description |
|---|---|
| SYSGEN_CRYPTO | Cryptography Services (CryptoAPI 1.0) provides a set of cryptographic services for hashing, encrypting, and decrypting data. |
| SYSGEN_CRYPTO_DSSDH | Diffie-Hellman/DSS provider supports hashing, generating, exchanging, and exporting Diffie-Hellman keys. |
