The KMIP plug-in

Edit online

A key-management system plug-in for the Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) is available for Linux on IBM Z and LinuxONE.

KMIP simplifies encryption key management. Keys can be created on the server and then retrieved, wrapped by transportation keys.

Keys are never exposed in plain text, and are only available to authorized parties, where both the key protection and the authentication of authorized parties is secured by HSMs.
