   1 NOTE: This assembly ONLY works under the Windows operating system.

   3 All classes inside this assembly should NEVER be used directly by any
   4 application. This also means you should never link this assembly with
   5 others assemblies.
   6
   7 In order to use theses cryptographic implementations you must change your
   8 machine.config file to redirect default implementation to the one provided
   9 in this assembly.
  10
  11 Example:        This example will replace the default RandomNumberGenerator
  12                 implementation (the one used for generating keys and IV) by
  13                 one using CryptoAPI. Note that there may be multiple entries
  14                 to modify for a default implementation (like 3 for RNG).
