What is Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP)?
According to OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards), “KMIP enables communication between key management systems and cryptographically-enabled applications, including email, databases, and storage devices. KMIPs primary mission is to simplify how companies manage cryptographic keys, eliminating the need for redundant, incompatible key management processes throughout key lifecycle management, including the generation, submission, retrieval, and deletion of cryptographic keys.
How Does CipherTrust Manager Leverage KMIP?
CipherTrust Manager is an essential Enterprise Key Management solution that enables KMIP-compliant clients, such as storage systems, databases, and other cryptographic key-utilizing systems, to communicate effectively for centralized key management. It delivers robust key lifecycle management, secure key generation, and comprehensive backup and restore capabilities. With CipherTrust Manager, administrators efficiently manage multiple, disparate encryption appliances and their associated keys through a single, centralized platform, streamlining the entire key management process.
