What it is

Eviden KMS centralizes encryption and decryption, key management, and certificate management. Its architecture combines key lifecycle management, an encryption oracle, and public key infrastructure. Administrators can generate, store, rotate, distribute, and revoke keys, and set access policies. The product supports FIPS 140-3 mode and KMIP versions 1.0–1.4 and 2.0–2.1 in binary and JSON formats, but implements a targeted subset rather than the entire KMIP standard. Listed integrations include Trustway Proteccio, Crypt2Pay, Utimaco, Nitrokey HSM 2, and SmartCard HSMs; cloud options include Azure BYOK, GCP CSEK and CMEK, AWS BYOK, and AWS Fargate. It also integrates with Google Workspace Client-Side Encryption, Microsoft 365 Double Key Encryption, and several databases. Deployment options include Debian and RPM packages, Windows and macOS installers, and standard or FIPS Docker images. Its web GUI supports client certificates and OIDC token authentication. Pricing is on request, with per-CPU pricing, connectors included, and any number of servers.
