Professional Protection
Kit

Application Framework

The SmarxOS Application Framework is a complete project oriented environment for software vendors and distributors which automates software and data protection or licensing scenarios. All projects are stored in a central database. SmarxOS Application Framework is part of the Protection Kit.

Implementation via API

The CRYPTO-BOX Professional Protection Kit includes libraries and examples for integrating via API for all standard compilers on Windows 32/64, Linux 32/64 and Mac OS X. The examples demonstrate how the individual API commands are addressed under the respective compilers. The CRYPTO-BOX compendium contains a complete API command reference.

Network Support

Besides the local use the CRYPTO-BOX can also be accessed via TCP/IP- networks. The Protection Kit provides the CRYPTO-BOX network server, which is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms. The network server can be used along with AutoCrypt projects or integration via API.

Command Line Tools

The SmarxOS Application Framework covers many scenarios for software and data protection. It also provides command line based tools for software security and CRYPTO-BOX programming  - especially when an existing system for end-user management is available! This makes it possible to upgrade the license management with the CRYPTO-BOX with little effort.  

With the "AC_Tool" you can control the AutoCrypt components via command line instructions. The project settings can easily be exported to AutoCrypt from existing projects in the SmarxOS application framework.

"SmrxProg" (analogous to "CRYPTO-BOX Format") is to configure the CRYPTO-BOX memory using command line parameters. Any number of partitions and data objects can be created, as well as programming AES-keys and network licenses.  Project settings from existing API implementation projects can be exported from the SmarxOS Application Framework for use with SmrxProg.

 The "RU_Tool" (analogous to Remote Update Management System) is used  to update the CRYPTO-BOX at the end-user site. The project settings can easily be exported from existing projects in the SmarxOS Application Framework.

Driver Installation and Diagnostic Tools

The tool "CBUSetup" allows for quick and easy installation of the CRYPTO-BOX driver and libraries on Windows. It automatically detects the installed operating system (Win32/64) and installs the appropriate drivers. Command line parameters can also be integrated into CBUSetup's own installation scripts.

"MARX Analyzer" can be used for debugging if the CRYPTO-BOX is not recognized at the end-user site.
