Protecting the Application
Make sure that the CRYPTO-BOX which fits to the hardware profile you specified under
“Hardware Settings” is plugged in the USB port and click the “Protect” button.
Now the original application file will be protected. The protected application and a functional module (.dll file) will be stored in the output folder specified in the previous step.
The wizard will also display a log output.
If the protection was successful, a check mark will be displayed.
INFO
| AutoCrypt will automatically compress and encrypt the protected application (AES Rijndael Private Key of the CRYPTO-BOX is used for that). Additionally, it will be protected against debugging. If the protected application will not work, please contact us – in almost all cases we can modify AutoCrypt to work with your executable. If your virus scanner treats your protected application as infected, please refer to FAQ entry number 5 for possible solutions. |
Now click the “Format” button to proceed with CRYPTO-BOX formatting.
INFO
| You can automatize the protection of your applications with AutoCrypt by using AC_Tool.exe. This utility is a command line version of AutoCrypt which can be controlled within other applications using command line switches. See Command Line Version for more details. |
