Decru® Lifetime Key Management™ KM-Series Appliance— Description

The Decru® Lifetime Key Management™ Appliance (LKM Appliance) enables centralized key management for large, distributed enterprise environments in a hardened appliance form factor.

Features

The LKM Appliance provides a more scalable and available alternative to the LKM Software, delivering enterprise-class scalability, availability, and security, along with Decru OpenKey™ API’s to support third-party encryption platforms. When used in combination with the optionally licensed SecureView feature set (available on all Decru appliances), this platform also enables centralized appliance, configuration and policy management for the entire encryption infrastructure. When used in combination with the separate Decru Decryption Software™ (DDS), LKM can enable authorized administrators to decrypt data outside of DataFort.
