Supported encryption key manager appliances

As stated under “Network connections”, a supported key management appliance must be

connected on the same LAN as the management port of the encryption switches or of the

Backbone Chassis Control Processors (CPs) in the case of the encryption blade.

Secure communication between encryption nodes in an encryption group, and between encryption

nodes and key manager appliances requires an exchange of certificates that are used for mutual

authentication. Each supported key manager appliance has unique requirements for setting up a

secure connection and exchanging certificates.

The following key manager appliance are supported:

• The RSA Key Manager (RKM)

• The NetApp Lifetime Key Manager (LKM)

• The HP StorageWorks Secure Key Manager (SKM)

• The Thales Encryption Manager for Storage (TEMS)
