comForte, a leading provider of encryption software for the NonStop platform, has extended the functionality of its SecurLib product. With the new release of SecurLib, you can take advantage of a simple cryptographic API for the NonStop platform. Basic cryptographic operations such as the calculation of SHA-1 hash values or encryption with various standard algorithms (3DES, RSA) are built into SecurLib. The API will make implementing  the sometimes tricky cryptographic operations a breeze: there is only a single header file to include and the API calls are straightforward.

SecurLib comes with the popular openssl command shell which allows the interactive execution of cryptographic operations such as key generation as well as a multitude of other functions. The openssl shell is running under the Guardian personality so your keys can be generated and stored right on your NonStop system. The combination of the openssl shell, SecurLib's simple API and comForte's cryptographic expertise will make tasks such as encrypting database rows for compliance with security regulations easy for you.
