Install FXPKCS11 on the same computer as the application integrating with the Vectera Plus HSM.
In a Windows environment, the easiest way to install the Futurex PKCS #11 module is to download FXTools from the Futurex portal and install it.
By default, the system installs all tools. You can overwrite and choose not to install the following modules:
| Module | Description |
|---|---|
| Futurex Client Tools | Command Line Interface (CLI) and associated SDK for both Java and C. |
| Futurex CNG Module | The Microsoft Next Generation Cryptographic Library. |
| Futurex Cryptographic Service Provider (CSP) | The Legacy Microsoft Cryptographic Libary. |
| Futurex EKM Module | The Microsoft Enterprise Key Management library. |
| Futurex PKCS #11 Module | The Futurex PKCS #11 library and associated tools. |
| Futurex Secure Access Client | The Client that connects a Futurex Excrypt Touch to a local laptop with a USB or to a remote Futurex device. |
After starting the installation, the system installs all noted services. If you selected the Futurex Secure Access Client, the Excrypt Touch driver is also installed and might start minimized or in the background.
The installation installs all services in the
C:\Program Files\Futurex directory. The CNG Module, CSP Module, EKM Module, and PKCS #11 Module all require configuration files, located in their corresponding directory with a .cfg extension.
