Easy Crypt

Cryptography is the use of codes to convert data so that only a specific recipient will be able to read it, using a key.

Microsoft CryptoAPI, application programming interface (API), and CAPICOM provide services that enable developers to add security based on cryptography to applications. CryptoAPI includes functionality for encoding to and decoding from Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1), encrypting and decrypting data, authentication using digital certificates, and digital certificate management using certificate stores. CryptoAPI and CAPICOM support both PKI and symmetric key cryptography.

Easy Crypt brings the power of these Microsoft Cryptographic Technologies to your Delphi applications. With the provided components you get an easy way to :

• use both public-key and symmetric key cryptography,
• hash, protect/unprotect, encrypt/decrypt strings and binary data,
• authenticate data using digital certificates,
• manage digital certificate using certificate stores,
• create, sign and verify certificates,
• create cryptographically secure pseudorandom numbers,
• code and decode Digital Messages,
• a lot of other funcationality that the Microsoft CryptoAPI offers

Among the supported algorithms are: Rijndael (AES), 3DES, DES, MAC, HMAC, RC2, RC4, RC5, MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512 and RSA. The complete list of supported algorithms depends on the chosen Service Provider.
