WinCrypt slows down libbde_metadata_read_volume_master_key

[YoMission]

This library cost about 2 minutes to calculate the encrypted_context at the function libbde_metadata_read_volume_master_key. So is there any solutions to optimize?

are you running into this issue by any chance?
libyal/libcaes#1

could you try adding WINVER=0x501

[YoMission]

By setting WINVER to 0x0501, the program will not run into that issue. Thanks a lot! And what's more, why using Wincrypt provides such a horribly running time.

This is something I need to look into when time permits. Current hypothesis this has to do how the wincrypt API is used by libcaes.

[YoMission]

Thanks my codeing master. Hope that we can find the reason.
