SmartPhone (SP) and CryptoApi with CompactFramework (.NETcf) - new DEVBUZZ tutorial

[news]

Hi all, .NETcf does not have the namespace System.Security.Cryptography.Yet we really need it as the world becomes more wireless, and we dontwant our data available in the clear for wireless sniffers or network operators, especially with certain wireless security mechanismsbeing in question (i.e. WEP). Luckily, both the SmartPhone andPocketPC devices come with the CryptoApi. The CryptoApi is an unmanagedAPI used to call unmanaged cryptographic implementations that existon the devices as well. This can be done through pInvokes. In thisarticle I will wrap the entire CryptoApi (version 1). http://www.devbuzz.com/content/zinc_smartphone_cryptography_pg1.asp -- Regards Derek Mitchell (e-mail address removed) .NET Compact Framework Tutorials: - http://www.devbuzz.com/content/init_compact_framework.asp eVB Tutorials: - http://www.devbuzz.com/content/init_starting_out.asp Pocket PC Development Forums: - http://forums.devbuzz.com/ Code Snippets: - http://www.devbuzz.com/content/code_snippet_list.asp
