cryptlib has now moved to GitHub, these pages are no longer being updated.

In addition to its built-in capabilities, cryptlib can make use of the crypto
capabilities of a variety of external crypto devices such as:
|
|
These devices will be used by cryptlib to handle functions such as key
generation and storage, certificate creation, digital signatures, and message
en-and decryption. Typical applications include:
|
| cryptlib manages any device-specific interfacing requirements so that the programming interface for any crypto device is identical to cryptlib's native interface, allowing existing applications that use cryptlib to be easily and transparently migrated to using crypto devices. The ability to mix and match crypto devices and the software-only implementation allows appropriate tradeoffs to be chosen between flexibility, cost, and security. |
