Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to configuring a legacy application or service with a reconfigurable cryptographic provider capable of leveraging many different cryptographic algorithms, protocols or functions. The application or service can be configured with the reconfigurable cryptographic provider by redirecting cryptographic API calls intended for a linked static shared cryptographic library or provider to a cryptographic adapter configured to emulate responses provided by the linked static shared cryptographic library. A cryptographic adapter is also described and is configured to generate abstracted versions of the cryptographic API calls and pass them on to the reconfigurable cryptographic provider, which selects and implements an appropriate cipher solution based on the abstracted cryptographic API calls.
