Hi,

I need to create an application in c# which will communicate with SafeNet's HSM Device. As of now i am assiged with a task that this C# console application could interact with the HSM device and check a particular key is valid or not.

For this , I have installed ptkc-sdk (ETcpsdk.msi) from ProtectToolKit-C which was provided by the device vendors. While installation Operatring mode was selected as Software only which would be much better for development and testing purposes.

But i am really got stuck in the begining itself with out knowing

how to establish a connection with HSM

How to do that key validation etc.

So please any one help me out from this.

Thanks & Regarads

SafeNet has dedicated customer support staff that are more than able to answer any questions that you have about their products.

Have you read the user manual. From documentation I retrieved from Google, there is a straight forward (although lengthy) process to setup the device.

Are you a programmer?
