Cryptographic Next Generation (CNG) Reference on MSDN |
Cryptography API: Next Generation ( CNG ) is Microsoft's cryptography platform starting with Windows Vista , and replaces the CryptoAPI of the previous versions of Windows in 2007 . All of their functions are still supported. With the help of the CNG, cryptography applications can be implemented in high-security environments.
Functions
The API combines several task packages:
- Creation and management of cryptography tasks on a kernel-mode and user-mode basis
- Wide range of algorithms in cryptology
- CNG supports all Suite B algorithms. This means that it can be classified as highly secure, secure and private
The CNG's tasks are largely audited in the Microsoft Software Key Storage Provider (KSP).
