In their own words
Cryptsoft KMIP Server
Cryptsoft KMIP Server is a C and Java SDK for developers adding key-management server capability to their own products. The SDK supports KMIP versions 1.0 through 2.1, with KMIP 3.0 support also listed, and Cryptsoft describes it as OASIS KMIP compliant. The company says its SDKs connect with HSMs, key-management servers, cloud services, storage and embedded devices, and support HSM integration and policy control. Keyward is a rebrandable web console for the server; it offers two layouts, theming, passkey sign-in and nine languages, and communicates over native KMIP or REST. Cryptsoft says KMIP 3.0 supports ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA through OpenSSL 3.5+ for C or Bouncy Castle 1.81+ for Java. The server can also deliver quantum key distribution material through KMIP as an ETSI-compliant key management entity. Linux and Windows are listed, with custom platform ports available on request. The product is intended for OEM integration; pricing and licensing details require contacting Cryptsoft.
