Hi there,
I am developing a software that encrypt and decrypt data on fly in windows. I was looking for any feature of windows which manage key securely. While i have explored DPAPI, but i want to encrypt and decrypt data for individual user and for group of user and DPAPI don't work for group of user. Is there any build in feature similar to linux keyctl that manage key for user and group of users.
This is a large topic not easy to cover in a forum post.
Are you mostly concerned with the key management or the actual encryption / decryption?
for key management, there is a significant difference between an enterprise and consumer environment
Hi, I am just concern with key reference management. I am doing encryption and decryption using CNG. I want to know for a group of user in windows how can i store key reference.
Are you looking at an enterprise environment or a consumer product?
That entirely up to you and your product. This is t a question anybody here can answer for you.
