Crypto Library
The Mentalis.org Crypto Library is an
implementation of several popular cryptographic algorithms.
The RijndaelCryptoServiceProvider class is an implementation of the
unmanaged AES CSP that ships with Windows Server 2003 and later. This
class performs the same cryptographic transformation as the
RijndaelManaged class that ships with the .NET runtime, however it runs up
to 7x faster on our test machines.
The ARCFourManaged class implements a stream cipher that is compatible
with the RC4TM cipher. It supports keys of up to 2048 bits. The
RC4CryptoServiceProvider class implements the same algorithm but wraps
around the CryptoAPI instead of implementing the algorithm in managed
code.
The MD2CryptoServiceProvider and RIPEMD160Managed classes implement
two well known hashing functions. The HMAC class implements the HMAC keyed
hash algrithm.
The DataProtectionCryptoServiceProvider class is a class that can
perform encryption and decryption without explicitly requiring a key.
Instead, it uses the user's logon credentials.
The Crypto Service Provider library is a part of the
Mentalis.org
Security Library. You can download the Mentalis.org Security Library
over here.
For more information about the Crypto Service Provider library, check out the
Security
Library documentation.
