Encryption Example

This example reads data from a text file (test1.txt), encrypts it using the RC2 block cipher, and writes out the encrypted data to another file (test1.xxx). A random session key is generated to perform the encryption and is stored to the output file along with the encrypted data. Note that this session key is encrypted with our own public key exchange key by the CryptExportKey function.

#include <wincrypt.h>

FILE *hSource = NULL;

FILE *hDest = NULL;

int eof = 0;

HCRYPTPROV hProv = 0;

HCRYPTKEY hKey = 0;

HCRYPTKEY hXchgKey = 0;

#define BLOCK_SIZE 160

#define BUFFER_SIZE (BLOCK_SIZE+16) // Give buffer 16 bytes of extra

// room for padding, etc.

printf("Error %x during CryptAcquireContext!\n", GetLastError());

goto done;

}

// Get handle to key exchange key.

if(!CryptGetUserKey(hProv, AT_KEYEXCHANGE, &hXchgKey)) {

printf("Error %x during CryptGetUserKey!\n", GetLastError());

goto done;

// Create a random block cipher session key.

Nostalgia .Net     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 »
