, the modern framework that replaced the aging CryptoAPI. It acts as the "ignition switch" for any application that needs to create, store, or manage persistent cryptographic keys. The Core Narrative: Opening the Vault Before you can create a secure key for something like Windows Hello for Business TPM-backed Creates a new encrypted storage provider configuration
What it does
