+title: Not Quite So Evil
+---
+
+<p>So I've been using <a
+href='http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/security/security/cryptography_reference.asp'><acronym
+title='Microsoft Cryptographic API'>MSCAPI</acronym></a> and <a
+href='http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/security/security/capicom_reference.asp'><acronym
+title='Cryptographic API Component Object Model'>CAPICOM</acronym></a>
+here at work, and I have to say that I'm impressed. I've used
+<a href='http://www.openssl.org/'>OpenSSL</a> for crypto stuff in the
+past, and both
+the <acronym title='Application Programming Interface'>API</acronym> and
+documentation for <a href='http://www.openssl.org/'>OpenSSL</a>
+suck ass. Specifically, the <acronym title='Application
+Programming Interface'>API</acronym> is counter-intuitive, and the
+documentation is terse or non-existent. Of course, there are <a
+href='http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-crypto/'>other options</a>, but
+they're not as popular (and they lack language bindings, at least <a
+href='http://cvs.pablotron.org/?m=gcrypt-ruby'>for the time being</a>).
