V5.2. Use this AI to save the internal state of an RC4 encryption or decryption object,
or to create a new object from the saved state of a previous RC4 object.

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)

Crypto-C includes basic AES support for the cutting edge in processor technology:
Intel Itanium and Pentium 4.
Organization of This Manual
This manual is organized as follows:
•Chapter 1, “Introduction,” introduces the Crypto-C toolkit. It lists the algorithms,
cryptographic standards, NIST standards, and ANSI X 9 standards used in
Crypto-C.
•Chapter 2, “Quick Start,” uses a code example to describe the basic encryption
and decryption operations in Crypto-C.
•Chapter 3, “Cryptography,” presents a brief outline of the basic cryptographic
principles and terminology that are used in this manual.
•Chapter 4, “Using Crypto-C,” presents a brief description of the Crypto-C
algorithm info types and key info types by functionality. It also covers system
considerations when using Crypto-C.
•Chapters 5-8 present sample code for the major Crypto-C operations.
•Chapter 9, “Putting it all Together: An X9.31 Example,” presents sample code for
the steps involved in creating and verifying RSA digital signatures in accordance
with the X9.31 standard.
•Appendix A, “Command-Line Demos,” describes the three Crypto-C command
line demo applications: BDEMO, BDEMODSA, and BDEMOEC.
