As far as I remember it needs Xp. Personally I would never use any MS security product as it either will have backdoors by design or accident... > -- Best regards, tracer Using theBAT 1.60j mail to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] C.C.S.

In one place, it says - "MISF technologies are built on CryptoAPI, a Win32 API available today worldwide in Internet Explorer, Windows 95, and Windows NT. " ANd elsewhere it requires IE4.01 minimum.

MS CryptoAPI settings in Options|S/MIME
Hello tbudl, as it was introdused in v1.60 the Microsoft CryptoAPI for S/MIME, I got a huge interest to use it, as I have 2 different types of secure tockens: iButton from Dallas Semiconductors (further reading from http://www.ibutton.com) and SchlumbergerSema's Cryptoflex 8K smart cards (http://www.cryptoflex.slb.com). CryptoAPI was the only way for me to use X.509 certificates stored on these secure tockens with TheBat. I went to Options|S/MIME, dialog box "S/MIME Preferences" opens, when I select Microsoft CryptoAPI. At this point an error box appears, this box is empty, in title it has "S/MIME Properties", in the middle left red circle with white X in it. At the same time original "S/MIME Preferences" window goes background the main TheBat window, and changes in its appearance: I could see "Cryptographic Sevice Provider" with "Default", and other two input fields for "Encryptoion Algorithm" and "Signing Hash Algorithm", these fields are empty. If I press OK on alert dialog box, TheBat returns me to "S/MIME Preferences" with "Internal Implementation" selected. Some words about my steps to solve this issue: I have installes InternetExplorer5.5SP2 -- same behaviour I have installed IE6.0 -- same I have visited www.verisign.com's DigitalID enrollment page, I could see all my Cryptographic Service Providers (MS Base, MS enhanced, Dallas Semicond CSP, Schlumberger CSP, and 2 DSS providers). The Dallas CSP works fine, I could enroll. The Schlumberger CSP works fine, I could enroll too. I am not so familiar with CSP on Windows, so would very appreciate any suggestions which could lead me to successfull use of secure tockens with TheBat on Windows98. If you need any extra info from -- just let me know, as I am very interested to track down this issue.
