Operating Modes
ProtectToolkit-C can be used in one of three
operating modes
. These are:
>
PCI mode
in conjunction with a locally-installed ProtectServer 3 PCIe.
>
Network mode
over a TCP/IP network, in conjunction with a compatible product such as the ProtectServer
3 External.
A machine with a ProtectServer 3 PCIe installed may also be used as a server in network mode.
>
Software Emulator mode
, on a local machine without access to a hardware security module.
Within the client/server runtime environment, the server performs cryptographic processing at the request of
the client. The server itself will only operate in one of the hardware runtime modes.
The software emulator version is typically used as a development and testing environment for applications that
will eventually use the hardware variant of ProtectToolkit-C.
