How can I get a NCRYPT_KEY_HANDLE for encryption/decryption with CNG from the private key of a PCCERT_CONTEXT from the windows certificate store? The CryptEncrypt function has been superceded by the NCryptEncrypt and BCryptEncrypt functions, but there is no immediately apparent way of obtaining a handle for either of these functions from a PCCERT_CONTEXT from the Windows certificate store. Proshivka mio s650 3. Is it even possible to use the CNG functions for encryption/decryption using (private keys of) certificates without resolving to brute force approaches like exporting the certificate?

Public-key cryptography, or asymmetric cryptography, is an encryption scheme that uses two mathematically related, but not identical, keys - a public key and a. Security.Cryptography RSACryptoServiceProvider. Modulus.Length * 8 == keySize) return provider; //Found existing key, but not of the correct size provider.

For two centuries, overpopulation has haunted the imagination of the modern world. According to Thomas Malthus, writing in 1798, human population growth would always surpass agricultural production, meaning “gigantic inevitable famine” would “with one mighty blow level the population with the food of the world.” Later, eugenicists like Margaret Sanger in the 1920s fretted over the wrong people reproducing too much, creating what she called “human weeds,” a “dead weight of human waste” to inherit the earth. In 1968, Paul Ehrlich predicted that in the 1970s, “hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death” because of the “population bomb.” These days, environmentalists worry that too many people will overload the natural world’s resources and destroy the planet with excessive consumption and pollution, leading to catastrophic global warming.

But as Jonathan Last documents in his new book What to Expect When No One’s Expecting, it is not overpopulation that threatens the well-being of the human race, it is under-population. As Last writes, “Throughout recorded human history, declining populations have always been followed by Very Bad Things.” Particularly for our modern, high-tech, capitalist world of consumers who buy, entrepreneurs who create wealth and jobs, and workers whose taxes fund social welfare entitlements, people are an even more critical resource. The Facts of Population Decline Last, a senior writer for the Weekly Standard and father of three, provides a reader-friendly but thorough analysis of the demographic crisis afflicting the West and the “Very Bad Things” that will follow population decline.
