Securosys SKA | Enhance Encryption Key Security with Smart Key Attributes

The Securosys Smart Key Attributes feature enables fine-grained authorization of private key usage. This empowers business applications to establish rules governing HSM operations on a per-key basis. Organizations can tailor authorization protocols to align with specific business processes by assigning keys with corresponding rules.

Importantly, these rules are enforced within an HSM's secure environment, benefiting from the same robust physical segregation and tamper protection as the private key storage itself, and are consequently certified under Common Criteria EAL4+ standards.

Solution

The Securosys HSM offers a solution by granting precise control over key usage through sophisticated authorizations. The integration of Securosys Smart Key Attributes (SKA) (link to SKA page) facilitates the enforcement of these policies and rules seamlessly.

To streamline the implementation of SKA's functionalities, the Securosys Transaction Security Broker (TSB) steps in. This standalone engine provides a REST-API and internal state management, simplifying the process. Crucially, it connects to an external database instance and integrates with SKA-enabled Securosys HSM, ensuring uncompromised security as all security-relevant operations occur within the HSM.

The TSB, coupled with SKA-enabled Securosys HSM, offers unparalleled granularity in controlling key actions and operations. Finance organizations can establish highly customizable policies for authorizing operations and transactions, as well as manage key blocking/unblocking and policy adjustments with ease.

SKA simplifies the shift to digital processes with easy Java API integration, replicating existing workflows and ensuring effortless compliance.

SKA supports algorithm-independent processes for all cryptocurrencies, reducing transaction fees, enhancing privacy, and allowing customized approval rules for better efficiency.

Scale operations for larger groups with no performance loss, while seamless MPC integration and time-based restrictions provide added security and control.

Highly Customizable Authorization Rules

SKA provides unmatched flexibility in defining authorization rules for business processes. These attributes benefit from the same robust protection as the keys themselves, ensuring comprehensive security.

Swiss-made

Designed, developed, and manufactured in Switzerland, SKA adheres to stringent quality standards, ensuring reliability and trustworthiness.

Many organizations store private keys insecurely, risking unauthorized access. Using HSMs with SKA ensures robust key management in a tamper-resistant environment, protecting digital identities from cyber threats and enhancing compliance with regulations.

SKA enables end users to control their signing keys, allowing QTSPs to offer secure Remote Signing Services that comply with eIDAS regulations, ensuring legally recognized and secure electronic signatures for remote transactions.

Traditional banking systems face risks from compromised software and require stringent compliance measures for transactions. SKA enables the enforcement of compliance rules as key attributes, safeguarding transactions and enhancing confidence in digital asset investments.
