There is provided a computer-implemented method for remote delegation of cryptographic processing from an application to other entities. The method including: structuring the cryptographic package with an application programming interface (API) as an engine of the cryptographic package and each provider including a dynamic-link library (dll) of an instance of the API; registering the API to a cryptographic library as a new crypto suite through the engine; implementing a control policy at a control entity to provide runtime input to the providers; receiving an API call from the application to implement a cryptographic action via the API, the API selecting the cryptographic scheme to implement the action.
