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

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.

Huawei and Cryptsoft today announced a broad licensing
agreement covering the Huawei storage product line and
Cryptsoft's OASIS Key Management Interoperability Protocol
(KMIP) SDK products. Huawei's storage product line,
sold under the Huawei OceanStor product brand includes
enterprise unified storage, massive storage, storage
software and data protection products.
"Leveraging our experience, knowledge and technology in
enterprise key management, Huawei have enabled their
customers to choose which vendor they entrust the key
management task to. This choice is underpinned by an
interoperable open standard (KMIP), which applies equally
to storage arrays, storage networking or data protection
products", said Tony Cox, Director Business Development,
Strategy and Alliances at Cryptsoft.

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.
