Abstract
Methods, systems and computer program products are provided which provide cryptographic services to an application by incorporating in the application an indication of at least one authorized cryptographic function for the application. The indication of at least one authorized cryptographic function for the application is communicated to a cryptographic library that supports a plurality of cryptographic functions. The at least one authorized cryptographic function corresponding to the indication of at least one authorized cryptographic function is then identified as a valid cryptographic function for the application.
