How do I download older versions of the Intel IPP Cryptograpy add-on library from premier.intel.com?

To download 6.1 and earlier versions of the cryptography add-on library (or cryptography for Compiler Pro 11.1 and earlier) follow the instructions in this article.

To download 7.0 or later versions of the Intel IPP cryptography add-on library (or cryptography for Composer XE 2011 and C++ Compiler 12.0 and later) please see Where do I download the Intel® IPP Cryptography libraries? for directions.

You must install the Intel IPP library first before installing the IPP cryptography add-on library.

The Intel IPP library is distributed as a standalone library as well as a component in the Intel C++ Compiler Professional Edition, as part of Intel Composer, Intel Parallel Studio, Intel Composer XE and several other Intel software suite products that include the Intel C++ compiler. The steps outlined below apply to all of these products; however, the name and specific download location of the installation file may vary depending on the product suite.

Important: step 1 (below) must be completed before you can request access to the cryptography add-on!

The registration procedure described below will give you access to the most recent version of the cryptography files. After you have successfully completed the registration process for the most recent version (received a confirmation email) you must then request access to older versions via Intel® Premier Support or the Intel IPP forum. Sorry about this extra step...

1. Register your purchase or evaluation copy of the Intel IPP library or suite product containing the library.
2. Login to the Intel® Registration Center to view your list of Intel product downloads.
3. Under the Product Subscription Information heading click the product for which you want to download the matching Intel IPP cryptography libraries (see some examples in the figure below).
   
   
4. Next click the Cryptography Library or Cryptography Download or similar "how to get" cryptography link in the Related Files section of the download page (see below).
   
   
5. Click the register for eligibility link (below) in the information page that appears when you select the link (above) from the download page.
   
   
6. Fill out and submit the web form to request access to the cryptography package.
   
   VERY IMPORTANT! Fill out the form (below) using the same email address you used to register your Intel IPP product or product suite that contains the Intel IPP library!
   
   
7. An e-mail will notify you of a successful request. In most cases your notification email should appear within 24 hours. If you do not receive a response within three business days, leave a message via the Intel IPP forum or Intel® Premier Support.

   
   Important! The cryptography download for Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives library version 6.1 and earlier is only available from the Intel® Premier Support web site. The instructions provided in your confirmation email do not apply to downloading 6.1 or earlier versions of the cryptography add-on library!
   
   Ignore the instructions in the cryptography confirmation email! After you receive your crypto confirmation email send us a message on the Intel IPP forum or Intel® Premier Support indicating that you received a crypto confirmation email and provide us with the email address you used to register for access to the cryptography library. We will confirm that the email address is valid and grant you access to the older crypto files. When making such a request via the forum be sure to include the email address that matches your premier account in your request and mark your forum posting as "private."
   
   Use the steps that follow only AFTER you have been manually granted access to the older crypto library files.

8. Log into the Intel® Premier Support web site: click the File Downloads link (screenshot below), select the correct product from the Product Drop Down menu and click the Display File List button.
   
   
9. Download the cryptography package you need by clicking the appropriate package File Name. Refer to this article to determine which Intel IPP libraries are compatible with the Intel Compiler Professional Editions. The 3-digit number at the end of each cryptography library package name must match the 3-digit number at the end of the package name for the IPP or compiler product you previously installed.
   
   

If you do not see a pulldown for the version of the cryptography add-on library that matches your product, please resubmit a request for access via Intel® Premier Support or on the IPP forum indicating to which version of the library you need access (provide the version of your assocated IPP library or compiler suite product). Please provide the email address that was used to request access to the cryptography library. When making such a request via the forum be sure to include the email address that matches your premier account in your request and mark your forum posting as "private."
