Disabling the FIPS Algorithm Check

.NET 2.0 introduced a check for FIPS certified algorithms if your local security policy was configured to require them. This resulted in algorithms which are not FIPS compliant (or implementations which were not FIPS certified) throwing an InvalidOperationException

Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman

The second elliptic curve algorithm added to Orcas is elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman, as the ECDiffieHellmanCng class. This is the first time Diffie-Hellman is available as part of the .NET Framework, so lets take a quick look at what it is and what it

Elliptic Curve DSA

Yesterday I gave a quick rundown of all the new cryptographic algorithms available in the Orcas January CTP . Today, let's dive in a little deeper to the first of the elliptic curve algorithms, ECDSA. (ECDSA, along with the rest of the CNG classes in

New Crypto Algorithms in Orcas

The January CTP of Orcas is now available , and with it comes a total of 12 new cryptography algorithm implementation classes, which include 2.5 new algorithms. (I'll count AES as 0.5 since we did already have Rijndael :-) ). These classes also are the
