<p>In one aspect, according to a first form of the invention, a method for accessing cryptographic material includes creating cryptographic material 494, by a first Cryptographic-related application programming interface ('API') 120, in response to a request by a first application 110 compatible with the first Cryptographic-related API 120. A supplemental aspect of the cryptographic material 494 is created by a supplemental method 125 for the first cryptographic API 120. The supplemental aspect includes information 410 for rendering the cryptographic material 494 compatible with a second Cryptographic-related API 140. The cryptographic material 494 is then accessed for a second application 130 by the second Cryptographic-related API 140.</p> |
