ePass 2003 Auto Token CSP Upgrade Procedure

ePass 2003 Auto Token Upgrade Procedure for New CSP Version 2.0.

CSP 2.0 refers to a new firmware version of a crypto token. Crypto Token is required to download a Digital Signature Certificate. As per the updated CCA guideline, CSP 2.0-enabled tokens can only be used to download a DSC after 1st July 2018. Hence all old tokens must be upgraded to be eligible for the DSC renewal process.

Process:

There are two ways to upgrade your ePass 2003 Auto Token. First is Interactive mode & second is Batch mode. If you are required to update a few tokens, say 2 nos, use Interactive mode. For a large number of tokens use Batch mode. Here we discuss both methods one by one. Prior to that, you need to download the ePass2003Auto Token CSP upgrade kit. Download the ePass 2003 Auto Token Upgrade kit here. After downloading, you will find a zip/rar file that you need to extract on your computer (You need WinRar software to extract the file).

Note: Please remove the old digital signature inside the token before updating.

After extracting, you will find many files. Now follow the below methods to upgrade according to the number of tokens you have.

a: Interactive mode:
