The Microsoft® Cryptographic Application Programming interface (CryptoAPI) provides services that enable application developers to add authentication, encoding, and encryption to their Microsoft Win32® -based applications. Application developers can use the functions in the CryptoAPI without knowing anything about the underlying implementation, in much the same way as they can use a graphics library without knowing anything about the particular graphics hardware configuration.
This manual describes the Call Library Function Node and the Code
interface Node (CIN). The Call Library Function Node and the CIN are
the LabVIEW programming objects you use to call compiled code from
text-based programming languages. This manual includes reference
information about libraries of functions, memory and file manipulation
routines, and diagnostic routines that you can use with calls to external
code.
