Polar Crypto Component gives your Windows applications the functionality of unbreakable encryption. It enables you to build your own security systems instantly, or to easily integrate it into your existing systems, enhancing their security and performance. Polar Crypto features the latest encryption technology and includes full source code written in MS Visual C++ included. Polar Crypto is an ActiveX and DLL component which can be implemented whenever secure information, authenticity and data integrity are needed, for example:

§  In all applications developed for comducting business transactions, where absolute confidentiality is needed.

§  For digital signature creation and validation.

§  In e-commerce web site applications that store sensitive information such as clients' credit card details.

Polar Crypto features the latest encryption technology and is the premium data protection tool for software developers.

Features

1. Full source code included

·         Completely written in Microsoft Visual C++

·         Choose between component and source code when implementing Polar Crypto into your application;

·         You can further develop and / or customize the products;

·         It is included at the regular component price;

2. Encryption/Decryption

·         Encrypt files, strings, buffers (Encrypt Method, Decrypt Method)

·         Use symmetric (AES and Twofish) or asymmetric keys (RSA)

·         Use public and private RSA keys for encryption/decryption

·         128 to 256-bit symmetric keys for AES and Twofish

·         512, 1024 and 2048-bit keys for asymmetric RSA encryption

3. Digital signature

·         Sign your data with the RSA private key (Sign Method)

·         Verify signed data (VerifySignature Method)

4. Hash generation

·         Produce a hash value using the SHA-1 & SHA-2 algorithms

5. Streaming

·         Set the Streaming Property to TRUE if you do not have a single data block

6. Random Generator

·         Use the built-in random data generator (Blum, Blum and Shub algorithm)

·         Set your own seed for an algorithm (RandomGeneratorSeed Property)

7. Tools

·         Convert your data to the Base64 or Hex format with the CryptoData Object

·         Manipulate the original binary data

8. General process information

·         Use the OnError Event to detect any errors in the encryption/decryption process

·         ProcessingStatus Event will tell you the current status of the operation
