This topic describes how to develop applications using the Cryptography Application Block. In Entering Configuration Information, it shows how to modify the configuration of the application block to perform particular tasks. Key Scenarios explains how to use the application block for particular scenarios, such as encrypting data. This topic assumes that you are using the application block in its original state, without extending it. (To learn how to add functionality, see Extending the Cryptography Application Block.)

All application blocks ship as source code and must be compiled before the QuickStarts and configuration tools can be used. To learn how to compile the Enterprise Library source code, see Building the Enterprise Library.
