The Microsoft Windows platform specific Cryptographic Application Programming Interface (also known variously as CryptoAPI, Microsoft Cryptography API, MS-CAPI or simply CAPI) is an application programming interface included with Microsoft Windows operating systems that provides services to enable developers to secure Windows-based applications using cryptography.
Most commercial certificate authority (CA) software uses PKCS #11 to access the CA signing key [clarification needed] or to enroll user certificates. Cross-platform software that needs to use smart cards uses PKCS #11, such as Mozilla Firefox and OpenSSL (using an extension).
The CAPI/CSP architecture had its origins in the era of restrictive US government controls on the export of cryptography. Microsoft's default or "base" CSP then included with Windows was limited to 512-bit RSA public-key cryptography and 40-bit symmetric cryptography, the maximum key lengths permitted in exportable mass market software at the time.
This table denotes, if a cryptography library provides the technical requisites for FIPS 140, and the status of their FIPS 140 certification (according to NIST's CMVP search, [27] modules in process list [28] and implementation under test list).
For example, the PKCS#11 Sensitive and Extractable attributes have been added to KMIP version 1.4. Many individuals are on the technical committees of both KMIP and PKCS#11. KMIP 2.0 also provides a standardized mechanism to transport PKCS#11 messages from clients to servers.
Cryptographic weaknesses were discovered in SHA-1, and the standard was no longer approved for most cryptographic uses after 2010. SHA-2 : A family of two similar hash functions, with different block sizes, known as SHA-256 and SHA-512 .

Convert counter to an octet string C of length 4 with the primitive I2OSP: C = I2OSP (counter, 4) C = int. to_bytes (counter, 4, "big") # b. Concatenate the hash of the seed Z and C to the octet string T: T = T || Hash (Z || C) T += hash_func (seed + C). digest counter += 1 # 4. Output the leading l octets of T as the octet string mask. return ...
