Use with Command Line Tools

In additionl to the Smarx Application Framework (SxAF), various command line tools are available in the Protection Kit. These offer more flexibility than the GUI-based SxAF and AutoCrypt Wizard and can be controlled from external applications or batch-files. This enables a connection to almost any distribution system and a high degree of automation.

You can find the command line tools in the Smarx Protection Kit under:
[Smarx OS PPK Installation Folder]\Tools\
or by clicking the "Drivers & Tools" button in the Control Center of the Protection Kit.

The following command line tools are available:

  • AC_Tool.exe – Automatic protection of applications (analogous to AutoCrypt in the SxAF)
     
  • SmrxProg.exe – Configuration of the CRYPTO-BOX (analogous to CB Format in the SxAF)
     
  • RU_Tool.exe – Remote Update Tool (analogous to RUMS in the SxAF)
     
  • Doc_Tool.exe – Automatic document protection (analogous to Document Protection in the SxAF)
     
  • EFI_Tool.exe and EFI_Installer.exe – Secure EFI Loader (Pre-Boot Authentication with the CRYPTO-BOX)


More details on using the hardware profile with command line tools can be found in the readme-file (in the sub-folder of the corresponding tool) and in the Smarx Compendium, chapter 7.
 

INFO

You can only use some tools (such as RU_Tool.exe, Doc_Tool.exe or the Secure EFI Loader) if you have purchased a license for them. These licenses can be obtained from MARX or your distributor in form of an updated hardware profile (.trx file)
If you don't have a license, you will see an error message.
