StrongKey Lite Encryption System

[arshadnoor]

I understand that this section of the site is for discussing specific solutions. If appropriate, I would like to announce the availability of a disruptive new solution for encryption and key-management to comply with PCI-DSS. It is the StrongKey Lite Encryption System (SKLES), an integrated appliance that includes:

• The ability to encrypt and store billions of sensitive data records on the appliance using strong NIST-approved algorithms, such as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES);
• The ability to tokenize the sensitive data on the appliance to minimize the impact on applications;
• Key-management – consisting of automatic key-generation, escrow, recovery and access-control - of millions of symmetric encryption keys on the appliance;
• A cryptographic hardware module with a true random number generator, for protection of cryptographic keys;
• A hardened, high-performance, quad-core, 64-bit processor based computer with 4GB of DRAM, 0.5TB of hard disk storage and necessary software to operate the appliance;
• Secure, automatic replication to other SKLES appliances for high-availability of cryptographic services;
• The ability to host multiple encryption domains within a single appliance, allowing for servicing different security needs of applications from a single SKLES appliance;
• Color-coded USB-tokens to store the strong cryptographic credentials of Key Custodians for securely and easily managing the cryptographic hardware module from remote locations;
• The ability to integrate the appliance to existing identity management systems, such as Active Directory or other LDAP-based identity management systems; and
• A GUI-based administration console for the easy and secure management of the SKLES.

All this - for an unprecedented price of $4,995 per appliance. Data-sheet is at http://www.strongauth.com/pdf/skles-datasheet.pdf
