Primus Tools Installation

There are many tools to handle HSM key stores and certificate procedures. For example, OpenSC's pkcs11-tool, GNU's p11tool, Java's keytool, Windows' certutil, and many more. Additionally, Securosys developed the Primus Tools collection (primus-tools.jar). The Primus Tools are a Java-based, platform-independent tool to perform the most common actions for key management and HSM management. The Primus Tools work with both on-premise Primus HSMs and with CloudHSMs. They communicate with the HSM over the JCE API.

Usage of the Primus Tools requires a Java Runtime Environment (see the Primus Tools prerequisites). For more details, see the Primus Tools documentation.
