Common Security Services Manager Sample Applications Cryptographic Service Provider Module FAQ Cryptographic Service Provider Module Intel's reference implementation of a cryptographic services provider (CSP) comprises the following algorithms: Digital Encryption Standard (DES) - performs bulk encryption (key length is limited to 40 bits) Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA1) - generates one-way data hashes Digital Signature Standard (DSS) - performs digital signaturing, signature verification, and key-pair generation Message Digest (MD5) - generates one-way data hashes Random Number Generator - uses MD5/DES algorithms The CSP attaches to the Common Security Services Manager (CSSM) to provide cryptographic functions through CSSM. Software developers can use this library to perform cryptographic functions within their software applications. The library is a DLL that can be used in the Windows* 95 and Windows NT* 4.0 environments. This library works with the Intel CSSM V1.2.   Please send comments and questions to cdsa@ibeam.intel.com   * Legal Information © 1998 Intel Corporation
