BRISBANE, Australia, and
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Cryptsoft, the
leading industry provider of KMIP technology, has successfully
concluded its latest collaboration with Thales, a leader in
critical information systems, cybersecurity and data security, to
prepare and make available to the market the latest iteration of
the OASIS Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) v1.4
standard in Thales' suite of key management products.
KMIP v1.4 brings substantial practical benefits to current and
prospective KMIP technology implementers and consumers alike,
including a greater depth of cybersecurity capability, enhanced
flexibility of use, and improved ease of integration into existing
enterprise solution ecosystems. These benefits stem from a range of
significant functionality improvements, including an enhancement of
the automated encryption client registration procedure, expansion
of support for a wider range of key types and algorithms,
refinement of the access control mechanisms, and the added ability
to import and export keys and metadata from conformant systems.
With these compelling enhancements, adoption of v1.4 is expected to
be rapid and widespread throughout the market.
This rapid integration and time-to-market achievement is the
latest positive outcome to result from the long-standing
collaboration between Cryptsoft and Thales relating to encryption
and key management technologies. This trusted working relationship
and combined technical excellence has continuously elevated the
industry benchmarks for enterprise encryption key management server
technology over the past five years. The latest v1.4 iteration of
KMIP is now available in the Vormetric Data Security Manager (DSM)
from Thales.
Cryptsoft and Thales will be demonstrating KMIP v1.4 as well as
new KMIP v2.0 capability at the RSA Conference, April 16-20 in San
Francisco, CA. Both companies will be participating in the
OASIS KMIP interoperability demonstration (booth 1601 South Hall),
enabling conference expo visitors to see first-hand how encryption
keys can be securely managed in the enterprise as well as easily
and seamlessly transferred between KMIP-enabled solutions from
multiple vendors.
"Cryptsoft's breadth of experience in the supply and integration
of OEM KMIP technology and our long and close working relationship
with Thales continues to bring immediate benefits to a rapidly
increasing number of end-consumers," said Tony Cox, VP Partners, Alliances & Standards
at Cryptsoft. "This latest milestone enables Thales customers to
realize the benefits of KMIP v1.4 and prepare for the impending
KMIP v2.0 functionality when using the Vormetric Data Security
Manager as a KMIP Server. The support of standards and
interoperability helps accelerate adoption of encryption and
increases confidence in investing in data security best practices
across all organizations."
"Thales has pioneered enterprise key management with KMIP from
the very beginning, and we are proud to once again demonstrate key
management leadership through this latest integration with
Cryptsoft," said Jon Geater, Chief
Technology Officer at Thales eSecurity. "Standard interfaces
and interoperability are essential to making cryptography work for
everyone, and through high quality technology and partnership we
are delighted to enable our customers to protect their critical
information and comply with important regulations simply and
efficiently using the latest KMIP standard."
