Hello I am developing a win32 application and I would like to use an RSA encryption library. What Library would you reccomend?

A:
I think OpenSSL is a good choice. It's well-maintained, and the price is right :)

Do keep in mind that OpenSSL is not GPL compatible.

It's also not C++

It's written in C, and is immediately usable within a C++ program.

A:
If you're using Win32, why don't you simply use the built-in win32 crypto-API?
Here's a little example how it works in practice:

Yep. If you favor a C++ interface, write yourself a wrapper around it. May be a good idea anyways just in case you later want to change the API.

As an alternative, consider LibTomCrypt (http://libtomcrypt.com/download.html)

I use the following library:

It's public domain, compact, self contained, and does the work well.

True that, I did improve it though by adding that. Problem is, I lost the code :(. It wasn't' too difficult to add though...

A:
Crypto++ - They have NIST FIPS validated dll's for MSVC 6, 7.1, and 8 on top of the normal source code self built packages.

Another alternative is libbeecrypt. A very mature product with assembler implementations on many platforms.

Maybe Botan is an alternative? It is a C++ library with a BSD license that supports RSA algorithms.
