Line 1: {{Linkrot\|date=October 2017}} '''DPAPI (Data Protection Application Programming Interface)''' is a simple [[cryptography\|cryptographic]] [[application programming interface]] available as a built-in component in [[Windows 2000]] and later versions of [[Microsoft Windows]] [[operating system]]s. In theory the Data Protection API can enable symmetric encryption of any kind of data; in practice, its primary use in the Windows operating system is to perform symmetric encryption of asymmetric private keys, using a user or system secret as a significant contribution of entropy.
