Integration via CSP/CNG

Microsoft CryptoAPI is a library of cryptographic functions available on Microsoft Windows platforms. This library does not implement the algorithms directly, leaving this task to components called Cryptographic Service Providers (CSPs), which are extensions (DLL) developed both by Microsoft itself and by third parties.

CryptoAPI is the recommended encryption library to be used in applications developed for the Windows platform. Applications such as MS Outlook and Exchange use this library.

HSM Dinamo, in addition to its native API, provides a CSP compatible with CryptoAPI so that existing solutions can be easily integrated with on-premise HSM or cloud services.

The CSP is built around the native Dinamo library and supports all the algorithms available in the HSM.

Session-Thread Affinity

HSM sessions have session-thread affinity. This means that the same session cannot be used by several threads at the same time.
