I am in the planning stages of developing an application and have been hoping to take advantages of the enterprise library.
I just noticed however that the Cryptography Application Block does NOT support asymmetric algorithms? This is rather surprising. On this topic i have a couple questions:
1- Why does the library presently only support symmetric algorithms?
2- When will support for asymmetric cryptographic algorithms be added to the library?
3- Does the enterprise library have the extensibility to allow one to implement additional algorithms for improved security in non-trusted deployment scenarios?
Thanks and best regards,
Michael
