The concept of developing our own versatile component set, compatible across different frameworks and operating systems, emerged following our experience in crafting components for FMX. We were eager to provide users with the flexib...

In a previous blog post, we discussed the signing of documents with tokens and proposed a simple tool to check the content of a PKCS#11 token. We also introduced digital signatures, X509, ASN.1, CMS, PDF and ETSI standards for signatures....

TMS Cryptography Pack, or TMSCP in short, contains a set of cryptographic algorithms and specific classes to address data encryption, hashing, signature and authentication. This post provides an overview of cryptographic signatures...

TX509Certificate is a component of TMS Cryptography Pack to use X509 certificates. With it, we can sign certificate signing request (CSR) or use it in XAdES, CAdES or PAdES to sign or verify documents. We can generate self-signed certificates, impor...

SHA-1 is a hash function developed by NSA and standardized by NIST in 1994. It is implemented in many Internet protocols using cryptographic primitives, such as TLS. Last week the CWI Institute in Amsterdam and Google announced the first practical co...

What's wrong with the KIS principle to store application settings in an INI file? The risk that someone is tampering with the INI file is an often heard reason for not using them. Not being able to store private or secret information another one. Bot...

In the past couple of months, TMS software formed a partnership with the company Cyberens with the goal to jointly develop cryptography solutions for Delphi, C++, C users. With this partnership, Bernard Roussely and Marion Candau from Cyberens bring ...
