Server 2012 R2: disable or hide ECDH key storage provider in Cryptographic Service Provider

Question

Hi Everyone in the Microsoft Forum,

HI I need an advice I don't need all the Microsoft key storage provider in the picture. I need RSA only

Am i able to disable or hide some of the cryptographic service provider (CSP)?

Can anyone provide me an advice ??

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

A cryptographic service provider (CSP) contains implementations of cryptographic standards and algorithms. At a minimum, a CSP consists of a dynamic-link library (DLL) that implements the functions in CryptoSPI (a system program interface). As Cryptographic Provider Types said, Some advanced application might connect to more than one CSP at a time, but most application generally use only a single CSP.
And if you need RSA only, check it! that is also implied by the checkbox UI.
