Cryptography for Visual Basic

Security is one of the biggest concerns customers have when doing business online. With billions of dollars at stake, this industry must take the necessary steps to ensure privacy and protection for customer data. Microsoft's CryptoAPI provides Visual Basic programmers with strong cryptography to keep this data safe. This book guides programmers through the process of accessing the powerful but tricky routines of Microsoft Crypto Library. The reader will find an introduction to modern cryptography and learn how to build cryptographic modules that can be used by any Visual Basic program. The reader will learn how to keep Visual Basic stable while running Microsoft CryptoAPI. The entire source code for a sample cryptographic COM object is provided. The CD-ROM includes four complete cryptographic modules for real-world implementation.
