What to do if the hardware key for egais is not found? Configuring Rutoken EDS to work with egais Rutoken freezes

In order to check the readiness of the Rutoken key identifier to be configured to work with EGAIS, open the "Rutoken Control Panel" - the "Administration" tab - the "Information" button - and check the status opposite the "Microsoft Base Smart Card Crypto Provider" field:

  • Supported

This status means that the Rutoken email identifier is already ready to configure the default encryption provider. Go to the second paragraph of this manual - "Changing the default encryption provider"

If the status is Supported, go to

If next to the field "Microsoft Base Smart Card Crypto Provider" there is a status Activate or Not supported, go to step 2.

2. Enabling support for the encryption provider for Rutoken EDS

To check the readiness of the Rutoken key identifier for setting up for working with EGAIS, open the "Rutoken Control Panel" - the "Administration" tab - the "Information" button - and check the status opposite the "Microsoft Base Smart Card Crypto Provider" field:

  • Activate

If a non-default PIN is set for the User or Administrator, it will need to be entered during activation.

Please note that if both PIN-codes do not correspond to the default values, for activation it will be necessary to enter successively the PIN-code of the Administrator, then the User.

If you do not know one or both of the PINs, you must contact the company that provided you with the key ID to obtain the PINs.

If it is not possible to find out the current values ​​of PIN-codes, there is only the option of formatting the Rutoken identifier to set new values ​​of PIN-codes. Please note that formatting the key identifier will permanently delete all content.

After the activation procedure, the status in the "Microsoft Base Smart Card Crypto Provider" field should change to "Supported"

to continue configuring the Rutoken key identifier, go to Step 2.

  • Not supported

The "Not supported" status is displayed if an attempt is made to configure a Rutoken model that is not intended to work with EGAIS, for example or. Only the model is suitable for working with EGAIS

3. Changing the default encryption provider

Open "Start" - ("Settings") - "Control Panel" - "Rutoken Control Panel" - "Settings" tab - in the "Cryptographic Provider Settings" item, click the "Settings ..."

In the "Cryptographic provider settings" window, select "Microsoft Base Smart Card Provider" for the Rutoken EDS 2.0 electronic identifier.

If the computer will generate an RSA key pair, set the Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider in the lower field

To save the changes, click the "OK" button.
