Xceed Encryption for ActiveX
Easy to use, interoperable library for encrypting, decrypting, signing and authenticating data. Supports symmetrical and asymmetrical strong encryption. Backed by a responsive support team.
- Supports various industry standard encryption algorithms
- Works with buffers, streams, or files.
- Supports multiple instances running simultaneously.
Part of Xceed Data Manipulation Suite, also part of Xceed Ultimate Suite
An encryption library with fast, low memory usage algorithms that supports file-based encryption/decryption as well as streaming.
A versatile library that makes it easy for your app to perform a variety of encryption-related tasks. Encrypt or decrypt, digitally sign, hash, authenticate, digital envelope, and more.
Performs strong AES symmetrical encryption/decryption with 128-, 192-, or 256-bit keys. Or use public-key encryption with the RSA algorithm. Also supports Twofish, SHA-2, ECB and CBC, and more. Includes a random number generator that can warn your app if there is not enough entropy.
Technically superior
One fully self-contained object, written with ATL 3.0 for no external dependencies, STA and MTA multi-threaded apartment models, fast and efficient.
Features
ActiveX/DLL technology
- A single fully self-contained COM object and ActiveX control written with ATL 3.0.
- Requires no external DLLs, ATL, MFC, or runtime libraries.
- Both single-threaded (STA) and multi-threaded apartment (MTA) model design.
- Instantiate the component dynamically without putting it on a form.
- Supports multiple instances running simultaneously.
- Uses native Unicode API calls for best performance.
- ActiveX control interface has all constants, enumerations, and types built in. Code completion, property categories, help strings, and context-sensitive F1 help fully supported.
- Works with all 32-bit development environments that can use ActiveX controls, including VB, VC++, Delphi, C++ Builder, VFP, Office, Web scripting languages, ASP, and DCOM projects.
Encryption technology
- Supports both strong secret-key encryption and public-key encryption.
- Supports the new AES (Advanced Encryption Standard / Rijndael) algorithm, the Twofish algorithm, and the RSA encryption algorithm (RSAES-OAEP).
- Secret-key (symmetrical) encryption support for 128-, 192-, or 256-bit keys.
- Public-key (asymmetrical) encryption supports keys of 338 bits and up.
- Supports Electronic Code Book (ECB) and Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) encryption modes.
- Offers the SHA-2 hash functions.
Major operations
- RFC-2437 compliant.
- Fast, low memory usage algorithms.
- Encrypt and decrypt data.
- Digitally sign data.
- Verify data against a digital signature.
- Hash data (create message digests).
- Sophisticated random number generator.
- Process data directly from one memory buffer to another.
- Process data from file to memory or from memory to file.
- Process data from one file to another.
- All function modes support streaming data.
- Settable initialization vector for Cipher Block Chaining encryption mode.
- Compare data byte-for-byte.
- Offers all the tools you need to create a digital envelope.
- Can efficiently work with the streaming compression library included with Xceed Zip for ActiveX, and/or Xceed Encoding for ActiveX to compress, decompress, encode, or decode data before encrypting or decrypting it, in a singe pass.
Documentation and samples
- Complete, comprehensive documentation provided in an MSDN-style HTML format which is fully context-sensitive so that pressing F1 on a keyword in your IDE opens up the manual to the relevant topic.
- Fully commented sample applications for various languages, including VB, Delphi, Visual C++ with ATL and MFC, C++ Builder, and Active Server Pages.
