Supported Hardware and Software

FM, HOST or Cryptoki applications built or recompiled using the Release 5 (or higher) FM SDK are supported on the SafeNet ProtectServer Network and PCIe HSMs.

Recompiling your existing FM, HOST, and Cryptoki application source code should require makefile modifications only. FMs must be compiled on Linux instead of Windows.

Platform support is as follows:

Embedded FM development Linux only
FM HOST applications Windows and Linux

The minimum required installation for building FM HOST applications with SafeNet ProtectToolkit 5 on Windows is Microsoft Visual C++ (the 2005, 2008, and 2010 runtime redistributables must all be installed), PTKcpsdk, and PTKfmsdk. Compilers other than Microsoft Visual C++ may work, but our examples and configuration makefile (<FMDIR>\cfgbuild.mak) are built for Microsoft Visual C++.
