Computing on an enterprise scale implies a more global framework for interaction between people involved in activities such as international commodity trading and interstate inventory management. Within these types of frameworks, must users often transmit sensitive information over nonsecure channelsfor example, faxing contracts, e-mailing buy or sell orders, and so on. By using the Cryptography API, you can guarantee the security of such information.

Cryptography scrambles messages so they can be transmitted and stored securely. Cryptography also can be used to encrypt sensitive files so intruders cannot decipher them. This lesson explains the role of the CryptoAPI in providing privacy and authentication over nonsecure networks.


After this lesson, you will be able to:
  • List the types of applications that can use the Microsoft Cryptography API.
