Decrypting Messages Using CryptoAPI
If a message was encrypted for a particular user, then the CryptGenKey function was used to create a random session key, before the encryption was
performed. This means that before the message can be decrypted, the key blob
containing the session key needs to be imported into the CSP with the CryptImportKey function. This function will use your key exchange private key to decrypt the
key blob. This means that the key blob must have been originally created using
the matching key exchange public key.
If the message was encrypted so that any password holder can access the data,
the CryptImportKey function is not used. Instead, you create the decryption session key with the CryptDeriveKey function. You will also need to supply the function with the password (or
other access token).
The session key's parameters need to be configured in the same way as when the
encryption was performed. These parameters can be specified using the CryptSetKeyParam function. For example, if the salt value was changed one or more times during
the encryption process, then it must also be changed during the decryption
process in exactly the same manner.
The message is decrypted using the CryptDecrypt function. If the message is too large to fit comfortably in memory, it can be
decrypted in sections, through multiple calls to CryptDecrypt.
When the decryption is complete, be sure to destroy the session key, using the CryptDestroyKey function. In addition to destroying the key, this will free up CSP resources.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
