Description

Dear Developrs,

It is a low hanging fruit, so I'd like to kindly ask you to add

  • CryptAcquireCertificatePrivateKey method and its flag constants to Crypt32 interface
  • NCryptDecrypt and NCryptFreeObject methods to a new NCrypt interface along with its PaddingInfo structures and flag constants

Thanks in advance, Tamas

Research direction

Start by locating JNA's existing Crypt32 interface and the patterns used for native interface and structure mappings. Add the requested CryptAcquireCertificatePrivateKey declarations and constants there, create the NCrypt interface with NCryptDecrypt, NCryptFreeObject, padding structures, and flags, then verify that the Windows crypto APIs are represented with the expected signatures.
