available.
Cryptsoft Pty Ltd and ID Quantique SA, announce completion
of a technology integration of a quantum entropy source
within a standards compliant KMIP server, to deliver class
leading key generation and management capability.

Press Release
More than 25 organizations are partnering at the OASIS
open standards consortium to adapt the Public-Key
Cryptography Standard, PKCS #11, for mobile and
cloud applications. One of the most widely implemented
cryptography standards in the world, PKCS #11 specifies
a platform-independent application programming interface
(API) for cryptographic tokens which store and control
authentication information including personal identity,
cryptographic keys, certificates, digital signatures,
and biometric data.
For more information go to the
PKCS11 Press Release
Fourteen companies will demonstrate products that
support the OASIS Access Control & Key Management
Standards. Axiomatics, Boeing, Dell, Forgerock,
NextLabs, Oracle, and ViewDS show how XACML 3.0 is
used for representing authorization and entitlement
policies. Cryptsoft, HP, IBM, QuintessenceLabs, Thales
e-Security, Townsend Security, and Vormetric will
demonstrate end-to-end encryption using KMIP.

OASIS Interop Website
OASIS has approved and published the Key Management
Interoperability Protocol Specification Version 1.1
OASIS Standard 24 January 2013

KMIP TC
The OASIS call for participation in a new OASIS PKCS#11 technical
committee has gone out.
To join (if you are an OASIS memeber) go to the
PKCS11 TC
RSA/EMC have announced that they will move PKCS #11 into
OASIS as a new technical committee.
Cryptsoft supports this move and will be participating in the
formation of the new technical committee.
PKCS#11 information remains available at
http://www.cryptsoft.com/pkcs11doc/
The 60-day public review starts 11 October 2012 and ends
10 December 2012.
This is an open invitation to comment. OASIS solicits
feedback from potential users, developers and others,
whether OASIS members or not, for the sake of improving
the interoperability and quality of its technical work.
The documents are available at
https://www.oasis-open.org/news/announcements/60-day-public-review-for-kmip-specification-version-1-1-cos01
This is the final step before KMIP 1.1 is submitted to the
OASIS member companies for vote on acceptance as an OASIS
specification.
Aberdeen's analysis of companies with current encryption
initiatives involving enterprise key management found
that the combined difference in costs avoided plus costs
saved provided an advantage of nearly $100 per end-user
per year over those that did not, in addition to the
ability to support encryption in greater diversity and at
higher scale. The Key Management Interoperability Protocol
(KMIP) is seen to be an important enabling technology for
enterprise key management that merits greater attention
from enterprise buyers and evaluators.

"OASIS KMIP provides the blueprint - 2010 saw KMIP products in development, 2011 brought products from the early adopters and in 2012 deployed interoperability via KMIP is now a reality. As one of the first vendors supporting both KMIP v1.0 and v1.1, Cryptsoft is committed to enabling industry adoption of KMIP. Our SDKs and adaptors enable our clients to both embrace KMIP and support existing non-KMIP solutions." -- Tim Hudson, Chief Security Architect (Cryptsoft)

ServiceMesh, provider
of the market-leading enterprise cloud platform for Global
2000 companies, today announced that it has integrated
Cryptsoft's KMIP compliant
key management solution to provide secure, high-speed encryption key
management for the ServiceMesh
Agility Platform. The integrated solution
enables Agility Platform customers to deploy workloads and data securely
to private and public clouds using a broadly accepted industry standard
to securely manage encryption keys across multiple key stores and
certificate authorities.
Cryptsoft, a leading provider of Key Management solutions, and ETI-NET,
a specialized developer of storage interfaces for multi-vendor data
centers, today announced encryption key management support in data
protection solutions for HP NonStop servers.
A joint integration effort between the companies has enabled support
for a range of external key management servers for the ETI-NET BackBox
virtual tape product.
Virtual tape images can be transparently encrypted in industry-standard
format using keys securely generated and delivered by an HP Enterprise
Secure Key Manager (ESKM) or alternatively any key management server
that supports the OASIS open standards consortium Key Management
Interoperability Protocol (KMIP).
