In a Windows environment, the easiest way to install the Futurex CNG (FXCNG) module is to install FXTools, which you can download from the Futurex Portal. Perform the following steps to install The FXCNG module on the server where you plan to use Microsoft SignTool:
1
Download FXTools from the Futurex portal and run the FXTools installer as an administrator.
2
By default, all tools are installed on the system, but you can choose not to install any of the following modules:
ModuleDescription
Futurex Client ToolsCommand Line Interface (CLI) and associated SDK for both Java and C.
Futurex CNG ModuleThe Microsoft Next Generation Cryptographic Library.
Futurex Cryptographic Service Provider (CSP)The Legacy Microsoft Cryptographic Library.
Futurex EKM ModuleThe Microsoft Enterprise Key Management library.
Futurex PKCS #11 ModuleThe Futurex PKCS #11 library and associated tools.
Futurex Secure Access ClientThe Client that connects a Futurex Excrypt Touch to a local laptop through USB and a remote Futurex device.
3
After starting the installation, the system installs the selected services. If you selected the Futurex Secure Access Client, the process also installs the Futurex Excrypt Touch driver, which might start minimized or in the background.
4
After installation completes, all services are in the C:\Program Files\Futurex directory. The CNG, CSP, EKM, and PKCS #11 modules all require configuration files, located in their corresponding directory with a .cfg extension.
The process installs the HSM Version of the PKCS #11 configuration file. For KMES integrations, you must replace the <HSM> section with a <KMS> section.
