Solution Overview
Encryption is a cornerstone and is de facto business need for secure Digital Transformation. 463 exabytes of data will be generated each day by humans as of 2025 (Source: Raconteur). Fortanix empowers world’s most regulated organizations to keep their data secure at-rest, in-transit and in-use. Given the exponen-tial generation of data from an array of vast variety of endpoints, IoT devices, wireless devices, on-premises assets and cloud deployments, there is always a need for a very high-throughput and negligible-latency data encryption and de-cryption for securing data at a very high scale.
Solution Highlights
Fortanix offers a state-of-the-art solution that enables customers to perform in-memory encryption/tokenizationand decryption/de-tokenizationof data at avery high throughput locally to any application, therefore, with negligible latency. Here is a brief overview of Fortanix Data Security Manager Accelerator solution
1. Solution is offered as a PKCS#11, JAVA, JCE client library that can be de-ployed locallyon Application client machine. Additionally, it is also offered as a Web Service that can be connected over HTTPS
2. The client library authenticates itself with Data Security Managervia an API key securely generated withinDSM
3. Once the client library is deployed,client applications can make function calls to it to perform high-speed in-memory encryption and decryption
4. The encryptionkeyis always created and stored inside Fortanix DSMFIPS 140-2 Level 3 appliance, however, when first time a key is used by the client application, it is fetched from DSMand is then cached in-memory
5. If the memory process is killed or if the key expires, then it will be requested again from centrally deployed Fortanix DSM cluster.
Fortanix Data Security Manager
Fortanix Data Security Manager is the world’s first cloud solution secured with Intel® SGX. With DSM you can securely generate, store, and use cryptographic keys and certificates, as well as secrets, such as passwords, API keys, tokens, or any blob of data.
