These changes provide enhanced support for RPC message queuing, which is a feature of the upcoming Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ). In order to use message queuing in an RPC client/server application on Windows NT 4.0, you must have Service Pack 3 installed on both the client machine and the server machine. You also need Beta 2 or later of MSMQ installed on both the client machine and the server machine. For more information about changes to RPC Transport refer to the Microsoft Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/msdn/sdk. The Microsoft Cryptography application programming interface (CryptoAPI) provides developers with core cryptographic and certificate functions. CryptoAPI 1.0 supports public-key and symmetric-key operations, such as key generation, key management, key exchange, encryption, decryption, hashing, digital signatures, and verification of signatures. CryptoAPI 2.0 (the upgrade contained in Service Pack 3) includes this core cryptographic functionality as well as certificate-based functionality. Developers can use certificates with these public-key operations and perform the necessary encapsulations and encoding to apply certificates within their applications. CryptoAPI 2.0 supports existing standards, such as X.509 v.3 certificate formats, ASN.1 encoding, and both PKCS #7 and #10 for encapsulation. This allows applications using CryptoAPI to operate with other certificate-based systems that adhere to these standards. For more information about Crypto API 2.0 refer to the Microsoft Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/NTServerSupport/Content/ServicePacks/Readme.htm#API. Service Pack 3 contains a complete software implementation of DirectX 3.0 as well as ongoing hardware support for the DirectDraw component of DirectX 3.0. Additional features have been added to DirectDraw, DirectSound, DirectInput, DirectPlay and Direct 3D. For more information about DirectX 3.0 refer to the Microsoft Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/NTServerSupport/Content/ServicePacks/Readme.htm#API. 10 Adapted from information published by Microsoft.
