Regulatory pressures increase need for data encryption software
As commercial expectations and regulatory requirements put greater pressure on the enterprise to ensure protection of critical information, data encryption software has grown in popularity. One of the most critical aspects of deploying data encryption software successfully is finding a solution for the protection and management of the cryptographic keys needed for the encryption and decryption of sensitive data such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, HR records, proprietary source code and other sensitive information. For data encryption software deployed by leading companies around the world, consider software from nCipher.

nCipher provides top data encryption software
Key management tools are one of the central pieces of data encryption software, and nCipher's keyAuthority delivers an innovative and robust solution for managing the keys that allow organizations to encrypt and decrypt data. keyAuthority provides centralized and automated key management, providing significant savings in operational costs and increased security. keyAuthority software components include:
- Management Server — this central component generates and archives keys, establishes security policy and enrolls end-points
- Management Console — this standalone management interface allows administrators to access keyAuthority from dispersed locations
- Database — a shared depository for wrapped keys and their policies
- Provisioning Server — this component distributes keys to end-points after a mutual authentication process. The Provisioning Server allows applications using cryptography to request and receive key material with high reliability and resilience.
keyAuthority's standards-based and highly scalable architecture means it can be quickly integrated into existing infrastructure and expanded to grow as the need for encryption grows throughout the enterprise.
Combine software with powerful data encryption hardware
nCipher encryption hardware enables organizations to put in place an additional layer of security. nCipher Hardware Security Modules are FIPS-validated devices that provide advanced cryptographic security and key management. nCipher netHSM offers a sharable cryptographic resource for multiple serviers, while the nCipher nShield product line offers dedicated tamper-resistant modules in a range of performance options. nCipher SSL acceleration solutions help free server capacity by offloading SSL processing, and nCipher document signing and encryption hardware help meet requirements for high assurance archival, exchange and distribution of classified documents and customer records, providing centralized signing and time stamping capability as well as reduced operational costs.
nCipher also offers products for RFC 3161-compliant timestamping, PKI integration, an SSL solution, and more.
