CryptoPro CSP (КриптоПро CSP) by Crypto‑Pro (Крипто‑Про) is a commercial cryptographic service provider that implements Russian national cryptographic standards (GOST) for digital signatures, encryption, and key management. It integrates with Microsoft CryptoAPI (and, in recent versions, CNG), allowing operating systems and applications to use GOST algorithms through standard interfaces. The product supports X.509 certificates, works with smart cards and hardware tokens (such as Rutoken and JaCarta), and is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Widely used across Russia for legally significant electronic document workflows, e‑government services, financial systems, and enterprise security, CryptoPro CSP enables organizations to meet Russian regulatory requirements and align with local PKI infrastructures. Typical capabilities include key generation and secure storage, digital signing, certificate management, hashing with GOST R 34.11‑2012 (Streebog), and symmetric encryption based on GOST 28147‑89. When paired with related Crypto‑Pro components, it supports functions such as timestamping, OCSP, and browser‑based signing; CAdES signatures are available via the included CAdESCOM interfaces.
Highlights:
CryptoPro CSP is licensed commercially, with editions for workstations and servers; evaluation versions are typically available. more
