Security Key Lifecycle Manager
Obtaining that central point of control requires more than an open standard. It also requires a
dedicated management solution that is designed to capitalize on it. IBM Security Key
Lifecycle Manager Version 2 gives you the power to manage keys centrally at every stage of
their lifecycles.
Security Key Lifecycle Manager performs key serving transparently for encrypting devices
and key management, making it simple to use. It is also easy to install and configure.
Because it demands no changes to applications and servers, it is a seamless fit for virtually
any IT infrastructure.
For these reasons, IBM led the IT industry in developing and promoting an exciting new
security standard: Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP). KMIP is an open
standard that is designed to support the full lifecycle of key management tasks from key
creation to key retirement.
IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager Version 1.0 supports the following operating systems:
AIX V5.3, 64-bit, Technology Level 5300-04, and Service Pack 5300-04-02, AIX 6.1 64 bit
