## What is Guardian library?

Guardian Library is a lightweight software package that integrates into your medical devices to provide cryptographic security capabilities. The library acts as the bridge between your device and the Guardian Cloud platform, handling all the complex security operations behind a simple API. It handles key generation, certificate requests, and secure connections without requiring complex cryptographic expertise from your development team.

### What Guardian library does

* **Generates cryptographic keys** directly on your device for maximum security
* **Requests and manages certificates** from Guardian Cloud automatically
* **Provides easy-to-use APIs** for device authentication, secure communication, and data signing
* **Handles provisioning workflows** including initial setup and reprovisioning
* **Manages the complete certificate lifecycle** without manual intervention

### How it works

After integration, Guardian Library reads a secure configuration profile and automatically requests certificates from Guardian Cloud. Once your device is provisioned, the library enables secure device-to-device communication (East-West) and secure connections to cloud services (North-South) using industry-standard cryptographic protocols.

You can download your Guardian Library file either during your system creation and configuration, or at any time from the **Downloads** item in the sidebar.

### Download Guardian library files

1. If you are creating a new system, you can download the Guardian library as a part of this setup process. If not, click the **Downloads** item on the sidebar.
2. Select the version and configuration that meets your needs, then click **Download**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.medcrypt.com/get-started/quickstart-process/download-guardian-library-file.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
