Michel Gallant's crypto article is the new feature on the MSDN Security Developer Center.
Check out Extending
.NET Cryptography with CAPICOM and P/Invoke. Good stuff!
[Brian
Johnson]
Nice! As noted in the article, the .NET
framework does provide rich crypto support. More information can be found
in an earlier article "Protect Private Data with the Cryptography Namespaces of the .NET Framework"
But ".... as a general recommendation for .NET
developers building applications using cryptography, if the required
functionality is not available natively in the core .NET classes, one should
consider using CAPICOM as a first approach. If the functionality is not provided
by CAPICOM, then one might consider using P/Invoke with CryptoAPI libraries
directly to access the required feature."
