As an avid - that's diva spelled backwards - amateur cryptographer, I've recently written some encryption/decryption programmes in Visual Basic®, using Microsoft's® CryptoAPI®, whose protocols, I think, were originally formulated in the late 90's. As with most cryptographic software of the times, the MS CryptoAPI allowed for weak cryptography. Now, with the release of Windows® Vista®, Microsoft has introduced Cryptography API: Next Generation® (CNG), the replacement for the CryptoAPI.
I look forward to CryptoAPI DS9, strong cryptography for the International Space Station, and CryptoAPI Voyager, strong cryptography for SUV's.
