Abbreviated as CNG, Cryptography API: Next Generation is the long-term replacement for the CryptoAPI. CNG is intended for use by developers of applications that will enable users to create and exchange documents and other data in a secure environment, especially over non-secure media such as the Internet. CNG is currently supported on Windows Vista.
