The encryption and security community is asking for
more from their foundational standards. Developers
of the OASIS Key Management Interoperability Protocol
(KMIP) and the Public-Key Cryptography Standard (PKCS#11)
show how they're rising to that challenge at RSA
2016. In a multi-vendor showcase, 12 vendors demonstrate
their support for new features in two of the industry's
most widely-adopted security standards.
"The OASIS 2016 Interop is a small window into the
reality of proven interoperability between enterprise
key managers, HSMs, cryptographic devices, storage,
security and cloud products," said Tony Cox, OASIS KMIP
Technical Committee Co-Chair and Interoperability Event
Lead. "Demonstrating interoperability between these
products live at the RSA conference each year reinforces
the reality of choice for CIOs, CSOs and CTOs, enabling
products from multiple vendors to be deployed as a single
enterprise security solution that addresses both current
and future requirements."
