KeyAuthority
keyAuthority from Thales e-Security is a proven, standards-based key manager that enables organizations to centralize and automate administration of encryption keys across classes of encrypting devices to streamline routine operations and auditing. Many devices—such as tape libraries, disk arrays, switches, and databases —now include embedded cryptography, but do not include enterprise-class key management capabilities to maintain full-lifecycle control over cryptographic keys. Centralized key management facilitates compliance with stringent regulations and policies while also ensuring that data remains available to the organization. The application-neutral keyAuthority appliance supports standards-based protocols, provides legacy interoperability with leading encryption products, and offers pre-qualified support for an expanding list of new encryption products and devices, delivering a comprehensive, vendor-neutral solution that can grow with your organization. keyAuthority provides the tamper-resistant features, redundant hardware, and automated failover needed to ensure high availability and support business continuity. Its security boundary, which includes the entire chassis for higher assurance protection, is validated to FIPS 140-2 Level 3.
