You need an installation of the Java 5 Runtime Environment or higher to install and run the translator. The Validy SoftNaos tools are written in Java. It has been tested on the Windows® XP operating system and the Linux® operating system but should run on any platform supported by Java 5 RE.
In the current version, the runtime that interfaces with the hardware secure coprocessor uses the smartcardio package under javax. This package is new to Java 6 so the Java 6 Runtime Environment is required to run a protected application with the hardware coprocessor. This limitation will be removed in a future release.
Simply run the vldy-softnaos-eval-1.0.x.y.jar
installer. After execution, you will find the following directories
under the install root location you have chosen:
- lib
-
The jar files for the translator, annotations, Ant task, virtual coprocessor, and interface with the secure coprocessor.
- lib\libs
-
The third party libraries used by the translator.
- doc
-
This evaluation guide in PDF and HTML formats.
- examples
-
Sample applications.
To use the actual secure coprocessor, the runtime that communicates
with a hardware token instead of simulating it must be used. The jar file
vldy-tech-vruntime.jar must be replaced by
vldy-tech-runtime.jar on the class path.
