Powerful key management system is paramount to enterprise cryptography
As a method for securing data at rest and as it moves across the extended enterprise, cryptography promises greater security for sensitive and critical information. In order to maximize the value of a cryptographic approach to security, a reliable and secure key management system is prerequisite. Because a distributed enterprise may require keys to be issue to a myriad of users and for scores or hundreds of applications, the creation and distribution of these cryptographic devices can be highly costly and time-consuming if not managed well. The right management system will allow security personnel to easily and automatically issue keys, enforce policies, provide audit detail, and support a wide variety of hardware end-points and operating systems. For a key management system deployed by leading enterprises the world over, consider solutions from nCipher.
nCipher keyAuthority: the key management system for competitive enterprises
nCipher is a leading provider of security solutions for the enterprise. nCipher keyAuthority is a key management system that allows the enterprise to generate and manage security objects, configuration data and security policies on demand — anytime and anywhere. The keyAuthority key management system centralizes the tasks associated with managing keys and automates many processes in order to reduce administrative burden. A standards-based product, keyAuthority integrates easily with existing infrastructure. This nCipher solution has a unified architecture and interface that supports standard algorithms used in cryptography, as well as standard security APIs to ensure minimal impact on productivity and network traffic. Audit records provide the kind of detail necessary to comply with national and local laws in an increasingly rigorous regulatory environment. And keyAuthority helps manage and reduce risk by making it easier to enforce organizational security policies across even the most highly distributed enterprises. By simplifying administration while improving security, keyAuthority delivers a cost-effective key management system for competitive enterprises everywhere.
keyAuthority system reduce management cost of provisioning keys
nCipher keyAuthority includes:
- keyAuthority Management Server, the centerpiece of this innovative system, controls and automates the functions of enrolling endpoints, creating policy and generating keys.
- keyAuthority Console is a standalone interface for this system. Multiple consoles can be used remotely to take care of the needs of dispersed teams or different operational functions.
- keyAuthority Database is where wrapped keys and their associated policies are stored.
- keyAuthority Provisioning Server securely issues keys to end-points through a secure authentication process.
nCipher also provides technology and software for an SSL solution, cryptography and data security, data encryption, digital signature, PCI data security and more.
