The Storage Networking Industry Association Secure Storage Industry Form (SNIA-SSIF) announced recently that IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager (SKLM) has recently passed its rigid Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) conformance test program.
This distinction places IBM in an exclusive club of companies who have been able to implement KMIP and satisfy the rigid testing requirements set forth by SNIA-SSIF.
Besides IBM, only Hewlett Packard and Cryptsoft are listed on the SNIA-SSIF KMIP testing results website of companies who have passed the SNIA-SSIF KMIP conformance test program. And sellers familiar with SKLM know that it has significant competitive advantages over HP and Cryptsoft. See the SKLM Competitive Snapshot PPT for those insights and more.
KMIP is a standard managed by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS). IBM has been an advocate of the KMIP standard since its inception, in an effort to standardize key management communications so that customers do not have to be subject to proprietary, embedded, and often insecure key management solutions.
