As I read on this question [1], private keys are protected by CNG mechanisms in Windows. So using NGINX, I would like to know how to stablish the communication between NGINX and this cryptographic API in Windows since I didn't find any evidence in NGINX documentation to do so.

Thank you,

There isn't an answer other than this has not been implemented anywhere yet.

However, you can look into this sample;

And then incorporate this with Lua.
