KMIP-compliant Encryption Key Management
The Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP®) is a
specification developed by OASIS®. Its function is to standardize
communication between enterprise key management systems and
encryption systems. With version i7.2, the Scalar i500 provides a KMIP
version 1.0 compliant encryption solution.
KMIP is currently only supported with SafeNet® KeySecure servers.
