Catalog Items and Sysgen Variables
The following table describes the catalog items and associated SYSGEN variables that you can use to add cryptography services to your OS.
Catalog item |
SYSGEN variable |
Description |
|---|---|---|
Cryptography API: Next Generation (CNG) Primitives |
SYSGEN_CNG_CORE |
Replaces the Cryptographic Application Programming Interface (CryptoAPI). The CNG Primitives API provides a set of functions that perform basic cryptographic operations such as creating hashes or encrypting and decrypting data. |
Cryptography API: Next Generation (CNG) Key Storage and Retrieval |
SYSGEN_CNG_KEYS |
Provides a plug-in model for providers of cryptographic key storage and a set of APIs that are used to create, store, and retrieve cryptographic keys. |
