AES 128bit encryption using CryptoAPI
-
Hi, Is it possible to do AES-128 bit encryption/decryption in Windows XP/2003 using CryptoAPI? If yes, then how should I create the key for encryption and how do I share the key among other users to decrypt the content? Are there any digital certificates involved? I saw the CSP registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\Defaults\Provider\Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider (Prototype). Why a suffix "(Prototype)"? What all are the possible methods to create and share the key? Links to examples and other detailed documents will be useful. Thanks in advance

Hi Richard, He only asked for samples and links and not ask someone to cover the whole thing here. I must add that he was my ex-team lead and is an extremely talented developer (it looks like he may not have worked on cryptography though). Just thought I'd let you know. :)

Rajesh, OK, comments accepted, although I did post a link that anyone could have found through Google/MSDN. As to his talents, it is impossible from his question (as with most posters) to judge his ablities abilities and/or experience.
