Cryptsoft's Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) Client has been licensed to the Cloudian Inc. for their HyperStore object storage product, enhancing their security offering with market proven, open-standards and industry-validated encryption key management technology.
With Cloudian's focus on managing limitless amounts of data in a cloud-native format, Cloudian required an encryption key management technology that was scalable, flexible and interoperable. KMIP, an open-standard technology that focuses on interoperability and flexibility while bringing true full key lifecycle management to any vendor product was an ideal technology fit.
"As the leading OEM supplier of KMIP key management technology, Cryptsoft is fully aware that our strength lies in our implementation being fully conformant with the KMIP standard so that we can support all possible use-cases for any market. It is refreshing working with a licensee who fully understands and appreciates that 'key vaulting' is not 'key management' and that true full key lifecycle management elevates any security solution to a level expected and demanded by the customers every vendor wants to sell to." Justin Corlett, Business Development Manager, Cryptsoft
"Security is a core value of our HyperStore storage platform, and we continuously invest in tools and technology to maintain our leadership position. With KMIP technology, we will bring enhanced, full key lifecycle management of all security objects to future versions of HyperStore. Cryptsoft's KMIP technology delivers the highest level of security and lets our customers interoperate with any KMIP enabled key management server or service whether on-prem, hybrid or cloud." Glenn Haley, Senior Director of Product Management at Cloudian.

Cryptsoft's Key Management Interoperability Client (KMIP) has been licensed to the OSNexus Corporation, bringing market proven, industry validated KMIP technology to OSNexus' industry-leading QuantaStor™ Software Defined Storage (SDS) platform.
Securing data-at-rest with encryption technology is an essential capability of any successful storage solution in today's market, including Software Defined Storage. As storage moves from appliance based to software defined solutions, managing the keys used for encryption becomes even more critical due to the multitude of locations encryption keys can be used in storage solutions. KMIP solves this management challenge with a modern, open-standards based, interoperable technology that also ensures the consumer avoids vendor lock-in and maintains control of their encryption keys.
"We've been heavily investing in security features and improvements for QuantaStor to meet customer demand. This includes our recent FIPS-140-2 certification from NIST to the KMIP support we introduced with QuantaStor 5.11. Now, with QuantaStor 5.12 we've taken our KMIP key management support a major leap forward with our new partnership with Cryptsoft. QuantaStor now leverages the industry leading Cryptsoft KMIP Client SDK which gives QuantaStor full support for the broad spectrum of KMIP servers on the market today." Steven Umbehocker, CEO of OSNEXUS.

Cryptsoft, Dell, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Others Advance Open Standard Enabling the Interoperability of Threshold Sharing Schemes OASIS Open, the global open source and standards consortium, announced that its members have approved SAM Threshold Sharing Schemes Version 1.0 as an OASIS Standard, a status that signifies the highest level of ratification. Developed by the Security Algorithms & Methods (SAM) Technical Committee, SAM Threshold Sharing Scheme V1.0 is intended for developers and architects designing systems and applications that utilize threshold sharing schemes in an interoperable manner.
"SAM Threshold Sharing Schemes V1.0 aids in the interoperability of applications implementing cryptographic capabilities in support of OASIS and other standards and specifications. Many organizations are unable to conform with a range of specifications that deal with cryptographic algorithms or methods because those algorithms and methods are not documented in a manner that is able to be referenced." said Tim Chevalier of NetApp, co-chair of the OASIS SAM Technical Committee and co-editor of the SAM TSS specification.
