AES Support

Does anybody know if AES implementation is supported on machines PRE-windows
XP (95-Me, nt4, 2000)? Using the api vs. using capicom?

i've tried looking to see where in the documentation it says AES is
supported but i couldn't find a single article about what version of the OS
it's implemented on.

I tried sample code that works on xp but not other OS's.

If anybody has a sample of working AES crypt code please post it here.

thanks,

This ng is for Microsoft Access, the database product. However:

- AES is newer than win95 (I believe), so win95 would not have AES
support "out of the box". But CryptoAPI is modular, so I imagine
there's some way to add a new algo yourself, if you know how to do
that.

- Googling: AES "source code" gives 84,000 results. Perhaps there's
some AES source code in there somewhere? :-)

HTH,

Win95 does support CryptoAPI, if you have IE5.0 installed (and maybe earlier,
but I can't track that down). Remember IE needs CryptoAPI for implementing
SSL.

CAPICOM however, does not run on Win95. I tried it. It simply says: This
functionality doesn't run on this platform.

I know that win95 supports CrytpAPI. I questioned whether win95
CryptoAPI supported AES - an entirely different thing!
