<p dir="auto">Wincrypt is deprecated and replaced by bcrypt. (see <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wincrypt/nf-wincrypt-cryptgenrandom" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wincrypt/nf-wincrypt-cryptgenrandom</a>)</p>
<p dir="auto">BCrypt is available in Win10 apps when wincrypt APIs are not. (see <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/win32-and-com/win32-apis#apis-from-ncryptdll" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/win32-and-com/win32-apis#apis-from-ncryptdll</a>)</p>
<p dir="auto">When building for Vista and up bcrypt is automatically picked and linked statically.
(by default mingw targets XP)</p>
<p dir="auto">This patch will conflict with <a href="https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/merge_requests/1254" data-original="!1254" data-link="false" data-link-reference="false" data-project="179611" data-merge-request="59067571" data-project-path="gnutls/gnutls" data-iid="1254" data-mr-title="Allow statically linking ncrypt (win32)" data-reference-type="merge_request" data-container="body" data-placement="top" data-html="true" title="" class="gfm gfm-merge_request">!1254</a> depending on which is merged first. They rely on the same Vista detection but work independently.</p>
