OASIS Welcomes Cryptsoft as Foundational Sponsor
The OASIS international open standards consortium welcomes Cryptsoft, a provider of cryptographic and enterprise key management solutions, as its newest Foundational Sponsor. Cryptsoft joins IBM and Microsoft in supporting the mission of OASIS at the highest level.
"Cryptsoft is a true OASIS success story," said Laurent Liscia, CEO and executive director of OASIS. "When Cryptsoft joined our organization five years ago, they quickly took on a leadership role, shepherding technical development, promoting interoperability, and sharing ideas with other members. They were instrumental in the growth of several major security standards, and in the process, their company grew to become a leader in the cryptographic market."

Cryptosense, Cryptsoft, Dell, Feitian, Fornetix, HP, IBM, Oracle, P6R, Thales, Utimaco, and Vormetric Collaborate to Prove Multi-Vendor Interoperability
"The OASIS 2015 interoperability demonstration is a small window into the large, expanding reality of market proven interoperability between enterprise key managers, cryptographic devices and range of storage, security and cloud products. Demonstrating interoperability between enterprise key managers and HSMs, U2F tokens, OTP tokens, and storage appliances opens up the reality of choice for CIOs, CSOs and CTOs. They can now choose the best-of-breed, vendor agnostic solutions that suit their organization\'s current and future requirements, secure in the knowledge that interoperability is not an unknown variable but a clearly defined constant." said Tony Cox, OASIS KMIP Technical Committee Chair and Interoperability Event Lead.
"As a major OEM technology supplier, Cryptsoft is aware that the OASIS KMIP and PKCS #11 standards are the preferred key management and cryptographic capability foundations for enterprise data security implementations. Multiple significant changes in the enterprise security trust landscape has fueled further demand for interoperable open standards based solutions that facilitate management insight and control of data and cryptographic devices alike. Supplying OASIS conformant solutions helps ensure that these demands are met practically and securely without sacrificing interoperability." said Tim Hudson, CTO & Technical Director at Cryptsoft

Cryptsoft today announced the culmination of an expanded set of enterprise key management technology license agreements with HP, which enables the addition of Cryptsoft's proven, OASIS KMIP-conformant solution to an expanding list of HP enterprise products.
"Managing heterogeneous data storage products with hundreds of thousands of encryption keys can result in new security risks, poor performance and complex manageability. HP has embraced KMIP technology across many product lines to leverage the benefits of an open standard," said Tony Cox, Director Business Development, Strategy and Alliances at Cryptsoft. HP now provides standards based, interoperable, enterprise key management capability across the following products, as listed at https://wiki.oasis-open.org/kmip/KnownKMIPImplementations

Cryptsoft, the OEM provider of choice for KMIP (Key management Interoperability Protocol) technology, has provided its KMIP Interoperability Test Suite to SNIA (Storage Networking Industry Association) to underpin the SNIA KMIP Conformance Testing Program. The program is a vendor-independent testing service for interoperability conformance testing of implementations of the OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) KMIP specification.
"As an independent technical industry organisation, vendors and IT professionals trust SNIA to deliver robust conformance testing programs to meet their needs. All of our testing programs are developed to ensure specification conformance with integrity, independence, control and confidentiality principles. The global technology vendors participating within the SNIA organization jointly establish rigorous conformance test operating procedures that are delivered at our SNIA Technology Center and further extended through the worldwide internet. Working closely with members of the Cryptsoft team, SNIA developed a KMIP conformance test program that validates security key management interoperability across servers and clients. Cryptsoft\'s tools, commitment, and staff are all essential for this program to be available to the industry in a timely fashion," said Wayne M. Adams, Chairman Emeritus of SNIA.

HyTrust, a major provider of security automation technology for the cloud and virtualisation markets, has adopted the prevailing OEM Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) solution from Cryptsoft.
"HyTrust software makes it possible to automate security so organizations can move more quickly to private, hybrid and public clouds. Transparent encryption and easy-to-deploy key management are an essential part of that solution. KMIP support is a natural addition to HyTrust DataControl because it will enable customers to integrate HyTrust\'s cloud encryption into an enterprise key management strategy. Cryptsoft\'s SDK\'s are a tested means to a rapid KMIP implementation and shortened time to market", said Bill Hackenberger, VP of Data Security at HyTrust.

Cryptsoft, the preferred OEM provider of technology to the enterprise key management security market today announced a collaboration with Intel focussed on standards based encryption key management using OASIS Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) conformant technology.
"Customers demand data encryption and sovereignty, workload integrity and confidentiality as fundamental security needs to adapt data center virtualization and cloud deployment models. Asserting enterprise control on these data center assets requires key management solutions from vendors such as Cryptsoft. This will help keep cryptographic keys within enterprise control and alleviate restrictions on secure movement of data and workloads. Integrated solutions with vendors like Cryptsoft help accomplish control and compliance needs", said Ravi Varanasi, General Manager of the Cloud Security team, Intel Data Center Group.

Cryptsoft, the major OEM provider of technology to the enterprise key management security market today announced the latest release of a converged key management and hardware security module solution.
Cryptsoft has addressed the challenges of greater visibility and control of the various keys in use within the enterprise by extending the Cryptsoft KMIP Server SDK to fully support the Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) from Oracle, SafeNet and Thales. "The OASIS PKCS#11 v2.40 committee specification provides the only cross-vendor, platform-neutral API for interaction with the full range of security devices from smartcards to hardware security modules. PKCS#11 addresses the integration requirements for security-aware applications and services. The OASIS KMIP specification is entirely complementary to PKCS#11 and both groups are working together to enable interoperable solutions at each level of the software architecture stack." said Dr Robert Griffin, co-chair OASIS PKCS#11 TC, Chair Emeritus OASIS KMIP TC and Chief Security Architect, RSA the security division of EMC.
