Public And Private Key Pair
- How the public and private key pair are to be generated depend on the cryptographic service provider (CSP).
- A Cryptographic Service Provider (CSP) contains implementations of cryptographic standards and algorithms.
- It is an independent software module that actually performs cryptographic functions.
- In Microsoft, it is a DLL.
- With the High Encryption Pack installed, the additional cryptographic service provider (CSP) option exists.
