Cryptography provides a way to distribute or receive information in secret code, so only the intended parties can read or send it. Cryptography in Windows Embedded CE-based devices includes the Cryptography API set (CryptoAPI), which provides services that enable application developers to add encryption and decryption of data. Application developers can use CryptoAPI without knowing details of the underlying implementation, in much the same way as they can use a graphics library without knowing anything about the particular graphics hardware settings. CryptoAPI works with a number of Cryptographic Service Providers that perform the actual cryptographic functions. <\/p>\n
CryptoAPI supports both public key infrastructure (PKI) and symmetric key cryptography. <\/p>\n
