 Apple Cryptographic Service Provider (PDF)
This document describes, at a very high level, the capabilities of the Apple CSP for Mac OS X. These capabilities are described in terms of key types and formats and supported algorithms.
Architecture of a Cryptographic Service Provider
This section describes the internal structure of a typical cryptographic service provider (CSP) and explains some of the assumptions implicit in the CryptoAPI/CryptoSPI design. Although each CSP is structured differently, the material in this section is general and applies to all cryptographic service providers.
Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA)
The Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) extends the JCA API to include APIs for encryption, key exchange, and Message Authentication Code (MAC). Together, the JCE and the cryptography aspects of the SDK provide a complete, platform-independent cryptography API.
Learn About Windows Cryptography
AspEncrypt is built around the Microsoft Cryptographic Application Programming Interface (CryptoAPI) which is part of the Win32 API. It is therefore important to know the basics of the Microsoft implementation of cryptography in order to understand how AspEncrypt works.
