The Cryptographic Security Platform Vault for Cloud Keys lets you manage keys for use with providers such as AWS, Azure, and GCP in Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) and Hold Your Own Key (HYOK) environments. You can use Cryptographic Security Platform Vault as

  • External Key Store (XKS) for AWS, 
  • External service for Double Key Encryption (DKE), 
  • External Key Manager (EKM) provider 

See below for the required steps.

If you plan to manage Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) keys in a Cryptographic Security Platform Vault for Cloud Keys that is protected by an nShield HSM, the ECC feature must be enabled on the HSM.
