CSP CryptoPro is a reliable commercial software tool designed to add and verify cryptographic protection on important documents and other files that require an electronic digital signature (EDS). The program is intended primarily for companies that have switched to electronic document management. Thanks to it, it is possible to ensure the legal validity of individual securities presented exclusively in digital form. In essence, a digital signature is a kind of analogue of a wet seal for physical documents.
This solution complies with all current GOSTs regulating information control and data integrity during transmission. To manage the security algorithms used, CSP CryptoPro provides a special manager, which is also responsible for setting other parameters of the program. In addition, the crypto provider’s kit includes tools that are responsible for “issuing” and verifying certificates. It also includes the CryptoPro Winlogon module. Its main task is to perform initial authentication of new users in the Windows environment. The operation of this component is based on the Kerberos V5 protocol, and authorization occurs after verifying the certificate of a USB token, smart card, or any other key media used in the enterprise. In general, the crypto provider allows you to use a variety of types of key media. For companies using relatively old computer equipment, there is even the possibility of using floppy disks in 3.5 format.
Based on the fact that this is an exclusively commercial software solution, it is easy to guess that it is paid. Although the developer CryptoPro kindly provides a demo version of his tool, which can only be used for the first thirty days. After this period, you will need to purchase a license.
Key Features
- contains tools for adding and verifying electronic digital signatures (EDS);
- can add and verify issued digital certificates;
- gives legal weight to electronic copies of documents;
- can perform authentication after verifying the certificate on the key medium;
- ensures control of the integrity of transmitted information;
- the algorithm used to generate hash sums and other algorithms used by the program fully comply with these GOSTs.
If you purchased a License for the right to use the CryptoPro CSP software, then you were given a license agreement in paper form (A4 format). Please prepare it - you will need it soon.
Step 1.
Before you begin installing the program, we recommend checking whether you have an old version of CryptoPro CSP installed. You can do this in the following way:
1. Go to “Start” - “Control Panel” (or “Start” - “Settings” - “Control Panel”);
2. In the window that opens, find the “CryptoPro CSP” snap-in.
If you not found“CryptoPro CSP” snap-in, then proceed to Step 2.
If this snap-in is available, then run it and check the version of the installed program (the inscription “Product version”). If the program version is higher 4.0.9963
, then you can proceed to install the following programs.
Attention! For normal operation with a qualified electronic signature, the minimum required version of the program is -
4.0.9963.
Therefore, if the version of the program installed on you below4.0.9963
, follow the next step of the instructions.
Step 2.
To install the CryptoPro CSP program version 4.0.9963 download its distribution from the official website of the developer - the Crypto-Pro Company. Go to the "Downloads" section in the top menu and select "CryptoPro CSP" from the list. To download the program distribution, you must register on the site (developer requirement).
Download the distribution file CSPsetup.exe. This file is an installation program for a new version of the program and an update tool for the old version.
Step 3.
Run CSPsetup.exe and follow the installation wizard prompts.
At one of the installation steps, enter the program serial number (from the paper license form).
Step 4.
Wait until the installation of the program is completed, and then restart your computer.
If you have already installed the program in demo mode, or the annual license for the CryptoPro CSP program has expired, then to activate a new serial number you must perform the following steps:
1. Launch the program "CryptoPro CSP": to do this you need to go to “Start” - “Programs” (or “All Programs”) - “CRYPTO PRO” - “CryptoPro CSP”.
2. In the window that opens, select the “General” tab and click on the “Enter license” button
3. Enter the requested data (user, organization and serial number) and click on "OK" 
Activation of the program is completed.
In order to view the CryptoPro CSP serial number entered earlier, you must:
1.
Open the registry: Start - Run - regedit
2.
Find the required directory: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - Microsoft - Windows - CurrentVersion - Installer - UserData - S-1-5-18 - Products - 05480A45343B0B0429E4860F13549069 - InstallProperties.
for Windows 8 and higher: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - Microsoft - Windows - CurrentVersion - Installer - UserData - S-1-5-18 - Products - 7AB5E7046046FB044ACD63458B5F481C - InstallProperties.
3.
Find the ProductID line - this is the serial number
In connection with the transition to the new national standard for the formation and verification of electronic signatures GOST R 34.10-2012, we recommend that you update your CryptoPro CSP Licenses versions 3.6 and 3.9 in advance. to current ones, since these versions do not support the new national standard GOST R 34.10-2012, which is mandatory from January 1, 2019.
To check the need to update the CryptoPro CSP License, run the CryptoPro CSP program. To do this, go to “Start” -> “Programs” (or “All Programs”) -> “CRYPTO-PRO” -> “CryptoPro CSP”.
In the window that opens, select the “General” tab, pay attention to the product version and license expiration date:
If the version of the CryptoPro CSP program installed on your computer is 4.0 or 5.0, and the license validity period is “Permanent”, then everything is in order, you are ready to switch to a new cryptographic standard.
If the “Validity period” line indicates date or word "Expired", then you need to purchase a license and enter the serial number.
If in the “Validity period” line you see “Permanent”, but the version of CryptoPro CSP starts at 3.6... or 3.9..., then you need to purchase a License to update the version of CryptoPro CSP, update the program on your computer to the current version and enter serial number.
Good afternoon dear friends! Today I want to review with you the CryptoPro CSP software product, which is very important for our work. CryptoPro CSP is a program, not free, that helps us install our certificates, or digital signature, digital signature, whatever, the meaning is the same.
