Purpose of CryptoPro CSP. Purpose of CryptoPro CSP Integration into application and business systems

CryptoPro CSP 5.0 is a new generation of crypto provider, developing three main product lines of the CryptoPro company: CryptoPro CSP (classic tokens and other passive storage of secret keys), CryptoPro FKN CSP/Rutoken CSP (non-retrievable keys on tokens with secure messaging) and CryptoPro DSS (keys in the cloud ).

All the advantages of products from these lines are not only preserved, but also multiplied in CryptoPro CSP 5.0: the list of supported platforms and algorithms is wider, performance is higher, and the user interface is more convenient. But the main thing is that working with all key media, including keys in the cloud, is now uniform. To transfer the application system in which CryptoPro CSP of any version worked to support keys in the cloud or to new media with non-removable keys, no software reworking will be required - the access interface remains the same, and work with the key in the cloud will occur exactly the same in the same way as with the classic key carrier.

Purpose of CryptoPro CSP

• Formation and verification electronic signature.
• Ensuring confidentiality and monitoring the integrity of information through its encryption and imitation protection.
• Ensuring authenticity, confidentiality and imitational protection of connections using the and protocols.
• Monitoring the integrity of system and application software to protect it from unauthorized changes and violations of trusted functioning.

Supported Algorithms

In CryptoPro CSP 5.0, along with Russian ones, foreign cryptographic algorithms are implemented. Now users have the opportunity to use familiar key media to store RSA and ECDSA private keys.

Supported key storage technologies

Cloud token

In the cryptoprovider CryptoPro CSP 5.0, for the first time, it became possible to use keys stored on cloud service CryptoPro DSS, via the CryptoAPI interface. Now keys stored in the cloud can be easily used by any user applications, as well as most Microsoft applications.

Media with non-retrievable keys and secure messaging

CryptoPro CSP 5.0 adds support for media with non-retrievable keys that implement the protocol SESPAKE, allowing authentication without transmitting the user’s password in clear text, and establishing an encrypted channel for the exchange of messages between the crypto provider and the carrier. An attacker located in the channel between the medium and the user's application can neither steal the authentication password nor replace the signed data. When using such media, the problem is completely solved safe work with non-removable keys.

The companies Active, InfoCrypt, SmartPark and Gemalto have developed new secure tokens that support this protocol (SmartPark and Gemalto starting from version 5.0 R2).

Media with non-removable keys

Many users want to be able to work with non-retrievable keys, but not upgrade tokens to the FKN level. Especially for them, the provider has added support for popular key media Rutoken EDS 2.0, JaCarta-2 GOST and InfoCrypt VPN-Key-TLS.

Classic passive USB tokens and smart cards

Most users prefer fast, cheap and convenient solutions for storing keys. As a rule, preference is given to tokens and smart cards without cryptographic coprocessors. As in previous versions provider, CryptoPro CSP 5.0 retains support for all compatible media produced by the companies Active, Aladdin R.D., Gemalto/SafeNet, Multisoft, NovaCard, Rosan, Alioth, MorphoKST and SmartPark.

In addition, of course, methods for storing keys in Windows registry, on hard drive, on flash drives on all platforms.

CryptoPro Tools

Cross-platform (Windows/Linux/macOS) appeared as part of CryptoPro CSP 5.0 graphic application- “CryptoPro Tools”.

The main idea is to provide users with the opportunity to conveniently solve common problems. All basic functions are available in a simple interface - at the same time, we have also implemented a mode for advanced users, which opens up additional possibilities.

Using CryptoPro Tools, the tasks of managing containers, smart cards and crypto provider settings are solved, and we have also added the ability to create and verify a PKCS#7 electronic signature.
