Lucigenic Crypt is a COM component that enables software developers to provide advanced cryptographic services in applications and scripts. The component implements the Blowfish encryption algorithm. Encryption services can be accessed through a COM server, a DCOM server or through a windowed ActiveX control. Base64 encoding and encryption are fully supported. Lucigenic Crypt is a small-footprint, self-contained component that does not require any run-times for it's operation. The component is thread-safe and highly scalable. Crypt comes bundled with extensive sample source code. Lucigenic Crypt can be used with all scripts and lanuages that are COM aware.
