Microsoft PKI deployment requires robust support
Many organizations today are deploying Microsoft Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) solutions in order to enhance cryptographic security of critical business intelligence. The success of a Microsoft PKI system depends on the quality of the software and hardware supporting it. That's why so many leading organizations deploying Microsoft PKI have also chosen offerings from nCipher. nCipher's hardware security modules offer maximum protection for cryptographic keys, while nCipher keyAuthority software helps manage the many tasks associated with creating, distributing and retrieving keys.

nCipher delivers leading solutions for Microsoft PKI
nCipher offers a range of software and hardware solutions that help to enhance and optimize Microsoft PKI. nCipher's keyAuthority, for example, is an enterprise key management system that simplifies and streamlines the process of generating, distributing, archiving and retrieving keys for a Microsoft PKI deployment. Because keyAuthority centralizes and automates key management, organizations can count on greater security and lower operational costs. A unified standards-based architecture and interface for key distribution support standard cryptographic algorithms and APIs, so the impact on performance of network servers and applications is minimized. And because keyAuthority helps to consistently enforce security policies while distributing keys to hundreds of applications and thousands of end users, organizations can achieve higher levels of key protection as well as regulatory compliance.
Optimize Microsoft PKI with innovative hardware solutions
nCipher also provides a range of hardware solutions that help to provide increased security in Microsoft PKI deployments. For example, nCipher nShield is a hardware security module designed for secure key management and cryptographic security. Organizations can equip Microsoft servers with nShield HSMs to achieve the requisite protection against key-finding attacks and other security breaches. By combining this innovative device into its Microsft PKI, a company can remove critical information like cryptographic keys from contact with the server, holding it in a nearly unbreachable hardware peripheral. This configuration protects against the unauthorized removal of private keys, securing critical information while achieving rapid data processing. nShield has an FIPS 140-2 rating at Level 2 and Level 3, complying with regulatory protocols and best practice guidelines. Offering a range of performance levels, the nShield product line can achieve transaction rates of up to 4000 per second. And nShield offer superior interoperability — nCipher has partnered with leading software providers to deliver out-of-the-box system integration.
nCipher also provides digital signature technology, encryption security software, key management software, and solutions that exceed the data encryption standard.
