CSP CryptoPro is a program for adding and checking digital files. It adds and protects cryptographic files (electronic documents) that contain a digital signature. CryptoPro has "Winlogon" for very important documents and third-party files that support a digital certificate.
CSP CryptoPro is used in companies that have documents in electronic form. The program provides protection and legal force for valuable documents and securities in digital form. Digitally signed data has the power of official documents.
CSP CryptoPro allows you to create digital security and sign (certificate) for any document. This program is suitable for organizations with valid GOST standards. It controls the data and structure of information. Security program algorithms are managed through a special manager.
You can configure the CryptoPro CSP and specify the level of protection and confidentiality of documents. After setup, some documents will be strictly confidential. The program is equipped with tools that issue and verify security certificates. Using the CryptoPro Winlogon module, you can register new users in the Windows operating system.
CryptoPro Winlogon works with support for the Kerberos V5 protocol. Login and access to data is carried out after a complete verification of the certificate of the storage medium located in the organization.
The crypto provider provides protection for various sources of digital data. Older organizations and companies use hardware to support floppy disks. CryptoPro was created on a commercial basis with a paid license. Once you install the program, you use it for 30 days, that is, a trial period. After this you will have to buy a license.

CIPF CryptoPro version 4.0: characteristics and functionality
State portals and trading platforms that accept information from users post on their websites requirements and instructions for working with electronic documents. In addition to , there is another popular crypto provider on the market - VipNet CSP. But some organizations (for example, Rosreestr) limit users’ choices and specify in the requirements the mandatory use of CryptoPro CSP. When issuing CEDS certificates, certification authorities also most often use CryptoPro, so if the user installs another crypto provider on the PC, errors may occur when creating the digital signature.
Software functions
CryptoPro software is systematically updated and improved. Latest certified build version (3-Base version). All current updates can be tracked on the developer’s official website in the “Certificates” section.
The crypto provider has been certified by the FSB. This means that it can be used to create an electronic signature and encrypt data in accordance with the Federal Law-63.
CIPF performs the following functions:
- gives legal force to digital files certified by the CEDS;
- prevents data compromise using modern cryptographic encryption and imitation protection tools;
- guarantees the authenticity and immutability of electronic files;
- supports the official authorization of private entrepreneurs and legal entities on Internet platforms and web portals of government bodies.
Without a crypto provider, the user will not be able to participate in electronic document management (EDF) and perform the following operations:
- remote ;
- sending reporting documentation to Rosstat, Pension Fund and other government agencies;
- interaction with information services, AIS State Order, GIS Housing and Communal Services, etc.;
- bank transfers and other financial transactions where CEDS are needed;
- submitting an online application for participation in auctions under Federal Laws No. 223 and No. 44;
- support of bankruptcy proceedings;
- interaction with participants of corporate e-document flow.
From January 1, 2019, all CAs issue electronic certificates according to the new standard (GOST R 34.10-2012). The software fully complies with this standard and supports new cryptographic protection algorithms.

System requirements for installing software
To fully use all the functionality of the crypto provider, all that remains is to install certificates in the PC registry. As a rule, CAs issue certificates on key flash media; in rare cases, they are sent to the owner’s email.
The certificate is installed in the “Service” section of the CryptoPro program. It is recommended to perform this procedure in accordance with the instructions from the developer. As a result, the certificate should be saved in the “Personal” folder.
At the final stage, save the root certificate (RC), which is available for download on the CA website. This document is saved in the Trusted folder. The CS performs an important function in e-document flow - it confirms that the certificate was obtained from an accredited CA.
Before installation, you need to understand: what is an digital signature and why is its installation necessary? EDS - electronic personal digital signature. This set of numbers and letters is used to encrypt documentation and certificates of different levels. The main content of documents is often passport or other personal data (for example, rights). Before installation, this signature must, of course, be obtained. This is done in a notary office that deals with electronic signature and digital signature.
If you want to install an electronic digital signature and confirm a printing license, then you need to install a program to recognize it in advance. Nothing will work without her. Often this is CryptoPRO CSP 3.6. You can either install it from a disk, having previously purchased it in a store, or install it from the Internet.
On a note! The second option is much simpler. The licensed version of the program costs about two to three thousand rubles.
Step 1. Carefully examine the data on your computer and use the Start menu to check whether the program has already been installed previously (especially if you are currently planning to use a device that is not yours).
- if you don’t have it, then go to step number two;
- if it is still on the device, then check the product version, see if it suits you (if not, then you should reinstall the program, if so, then leave everything unchanged), also do not forget to make sure that the CryptoPRO expiration date does not expired! It is very important.
Step 2. If you understand that this program is on your computer, then proceed to installation. Sometimes this is not entirely easy to do. You need to go to the licensed website (this is very important, since the pirated version will not work fully) and try to install the program.
- When you visit the site, you will see the following image.
- Here you need to select the “Pre-registration” column.
- When you click on this link, you will be asked to fill out a form. The main thing is to write reliable and complete data. After registration, we agree to the agreement and proceed to download.
Step 3. However, we are not downloading the program itself, but only the installation file. Therefore, after the file has downloaded, open it.
Step 4. Now we install the program itself.
Important! In some cases, it happens that the antivirus program does not allow CryptoPRO to pass, considering it to be viral or especially dangerous. Don’t be scared, just add the program to “Trusted” and install it further.
Step 4. We are waiting for the final download!
Step 5. For the program to work correctly on your personal computer, enter your license (key) number.

Step-by-step installation of digital signature
Step 1. Open the “Control Panel” tab (using a magnifying glass or the “Start” menu).
Step 2. We launch the pre-installed program.
Step 3. When we launch CryptoPRO, we are transferred to the main screen of the program. As you can see, it has a lot of folds. We need a tab called “Service”.
Step 4. Next you need to “View certificates in the private key container.” You should not enter the name of the key container manually (although you can do so if you want, it is your right), but for convenience, click on the “Browse” tab.
Step 5. After your click, an additional tab will pop up where you will need to select your container, as well as the available reader. When you have read everything and checked the data, click “Okay”.
Step 6. If you did everything correctly, you will be taken back to the previous tab. We don’t need to add any more changes, so move on to the next window by clicking “Next”.
Step 7 You have moved to the next tab. Absolutely all personal information is located here, which was encrypted with an electronic digital signature. You can also find and view the validity period. Also check the serial number of your program and signature (you should never forget it). Select “Properties”.
Step 8 Now you have to install a new certificate.
Step 9 You will automatically be taken to the next tab. Here you need to carefully study all the information. And if you agree with it, then only move on to the next page.
Step 10 Here we need to look at all the certificates that are in the store. The “Browse” button will help with this.
Step 11 Since we encrypted our personal data, select the appropriate folder called “Personal” and click “Okay”.
Step 12 Congratulations! You have successfully installed the certificate. To complete it, click on “Finish” and wait just a couple of seconds.
You can install ready-made certificates both from a hard drive and from removable media. Now let's talk about installing an electronic signature from a flash drive.
In fact, apart from some actions, copying an electronic signature from a flash drive is no different from the usual installation of certificates. Before installation, you just need to insert the signed flash drive into your computer. Further actions will completely coincide with the usual installation.
Installing a root certificate
Why is it necessary to install a root certificate and where is it done? The root certificate is installed in a shared storage to secure the server and facilitate its smooth operation without any errors or shortcomings. To install and obtain a certificate, you will need a TCSP. This is a test certification center for the product. You will need to be logged into the application as an administrator to access the center's website. The site may be blocked by your antivirus, but this is completely normal. You just need to add it to the trusted ones so that no problems arise in the future.
From our new article, you can find out which one, and also consider a detailed overview of the best programs.
Step 1. Request a certificate.
Step 2. When you receive the permit, download it from the center.
Step 3. Open the certificate and install according to the instructions on the screen (you don’t have to do anything, just click on the “Next” button a few times).
Installing keys in the “Registry”
If you want to find out and also consider a detailed description of the program, you can read a new article about it on our portal.
Step 1. You need to configure the Registry. And only then can you start installing the key.
Step 2. Copy the container that contains the keys/key.
Step 3. Paste it into the Registry.
Step 4. Install the container in the program into the registry in the same way as was done with the certificate.
CryptoPRO freezes when installing a certificate, what should I do?
To prevent possible program freezes that will adversely affect the installation of your signature, you need to:
- install licensed software;
- install a licensed program, since the pirated version often freezes;
- check your computer for viruses or available updates (if any, they must be eliminated).
Freezes can also be caused by:
- incorrect paths to files, their inaccuracy;
- if the certificate is suspended by the company or has finally expired.
If none of the proposed reasons are suitable, then contact technical support, where they will definitely help you and fix the problem.
