The old one, not the .NET version. I don't see it listed, but since
it's available under .NET I thought I'd ask. Also, there are some API
calls which are supposedly not available under most Windows
installations (CryptBinaryToString, for example). I don't suppose this
has changed? Basically, I'm trying to replicate the functionality of
some .NET crypto stuff in C++ and finding that some of the stuff I need
isn't available.

I believe it's available - MS_ENH_RSA_AES_PROV.
Click to expand...

That provider is available only in XP (and 2003, I guess) - unless
MS have sneaked into an SP for Win2k without my noticing.

Technically, of course, CryptoAPI supports every algorithm you've
ever thought of - you just have to write a CSP to provide it.
MS_ENH_RSA_AES_PROV is just the only provider (I know of) that
comes with Windows and supports AES. I'm quite sure there are
3rd-party CSPs from security hardware vendors that support it too.

Cheers,
Daniel.
