Cryptography for Network and Information Security |
Modern electronic cryptosystems use complex mathematical algorithms and other techniques and mechanisms to provide network and information security. Cryptography-based security technologies commonly use one or more of the following basic components to provide security functions:
Windows 2000 distributed security technologies use these components of cryptology for a variety of security functions. For more information about how these components are used with security technologies in Windows 2000, see the appropriate sections of the following publications:
