Ability to Configure Other HSMs for Oracle Key Vault

Starting with Oracle Key Vault release 21.3, in addition to the Thales Luna Network HSM version 7000, Entrust nShield Connect + and XC models, and Utimaco’s SecurityServer 4.31.1 HSMs, you can configure other HSMs that have been certified to work with Oracle Key Vault.

Those additional HSMs may or may not be already certified by the HSM vendor.

This feature gives you a much wider range of HSM products that you can use with Oracle Key Vault. The configuration is slightly different from the configuration of the Thales Luna Network HSM version 7000, Entrust nShield Connect + and XC models, and Utimaco’s SecurityServer 4.31.1 HSMs in that you will need to work with your HSM vendor with regard to the requirements that they must fulfill in order for their HSM to work with Oracle Key Vault. After you have successfully integrated the HSM with Oracle Key Vault, you will be able to perform all the tasks that you normally perform with the Thales Luna Network HSM version 7000, Entrust nShield Connect + and XC models, and Utimaco’s SecurityServer 4.31.1 HSMs, such as upgrade operations, backup and restore operations, and reverse migrations.
