Software Development Kit (SDK)

SafeGuard CryptoServer’s Software Development Kit (SDK) is the professional developer environment for Utimaco’s HSM. It enables integrators and end users to create specific applications, e.g. proprietary algorithms or complex protocols, which can be executed securely within the tamperproof environment of the SafeGuard CryptoServer.

Thanks to the integration of the SDK in Microsoft Visual Studio, the complete development cycle for the creation of individual applications is supported. The SafeGuard CryptoServer software emulator, which is included in the SDK, simplifies and accelerates the testing of developed applications. The code generated by the SDK can run on all models of the SafeGuard CryptoServer S-Series and CS-Series.
