SAFErating from user MikeOne for file C:\Windows\System32\cryptsvc.dll (Variant: 19805211)
This dynamic linking library is a genuine part of the MS Windows - it serves as part of the Cryptographic Services.
"Public networks such as the Internet do not provide a means of secure communication between entities. Communication over such networks is susceptible to being read or even modified by unauthorized third parties. Cryptography helps protect data from being viewed, provides ways to detect whether data has been modified, and helps provide a secure means of communication over otherwise nonsecure channels. For example, data can be encrypted by using a cryptographic algorithm, transmitted in an encrypted state, and later decrypted by the intended party. If a third party intercepts the encrypted data, it will be difficult to decipher."
