Program logic and data encoding specifications that are usually implemented into SYS files are integrated into the content stored in the crypto.sys process. The crypto.sys file is bundled with an application called Crypto, which was developed by SafeNet, and the crypto.sys process is also known as the SafeNet Crypto driver. The crypto.sys file is usually found in the"drivers" sub folder of the System32 directory, which is stored in the Windows folder of the system partition. The content of the crypto.sys process includes firmware logic code and resource directives that correspond to other program files, application-specific modules, modular system resources, firmware and driver software of certain devices from SafeNet. The applications and hardware devices from SafeNet are implemented as enterprise data encryption solutions, which means the crypto.sys file contains code and resource directives that help facilitate encryptionor decryption instructions and other pieces of program logic data that are transmitted between required system processes, SafeNet applications, SafeNet driver and firmware resources.

Most non-system processes that are running can be stopped because they are not involved in running your operating system. crypto.sys. is used by SafeNet Crypto Driver, If you shut down crypto.sys, it will likely start again at a later time either after you restart your computer or after an application start. To stop crypto.sys, permanently you need to uninstall the application that runs this process which in this case is SafeNet Crypto Driver, from your system.

After uninstalling applications it is a good idea to scan you Windows registry for any left over traces of applications. Registry Reviver by ReviverSoft is a great tool for doing this.

The ReviverSoft experts have not yet reviewed crypto.sys

A process usually a part of an installed application such as SafeNet Crypto Driver, or your operating system that is responsible for running in functions of that application. Some application require that they have processes running all the time so they can do things such as check for updates or notify you when you get an instant message. Some poorly written applications have many processes that run that may not be required and take up valuable processing power within your computer.

We have not received any complaint about this process having higher than normal impact on PC performance. If you have had bad experiences with it please let us know in a comment below and we will investigate it further.

The first thing you should do if crypto.sys. is causing errors on your computer is to run a Windows registry scan with Registry Reviver If you are still seeing errors after this you should uninstall the program that crypto.sys, belongs to, in this case SafeNet Crypto Driver
