Oracle Key Manager is a comprehensive key management system (KMS) that simplifies the management and monitoring of encryption keys that protect information at rest.
Oracle Key Manager supports enterprise-class environments with a highly scalable and available architecture that can manage thousands of devices and millions of keys. This feature operates on a hardened operating environment, enforces strong access control and role separation for key management and monitoring operations, and optionally supports the secure storage of keys in Oracle's Sun Crypto Accelerator 6000 PCIe Card, a FIPS 140-2 rated hardware secure module.
In the context of SuperCluster, the Oracle Key Manager can authorize, secure, and manage access to encryption keys used by Oracle StorageTek encrypting tape drives, Oracle Databases encrypted using transparent data encryption, and encrypted ZFS file systems available on the Oracle Solaris 11 OS.
