Cryptsoft

Cryptsoft is a company specializing in cryptographic key management software, with a focus on the OASIS Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) standard. The company develops and licenses KMIP Software Development Kits (SDKs) that enable other technology vendors to embed standards-based key management capabilities into their own products. Cryptsoft's primary offering is its KMIP SDK toolkit, available for both client and server implementations, which allows third-party vendors to integrate KMIP-compliant encryption key management into storage systems, cloud platforms, backup solutions, and other enterprise infrastructure products. Their technology facilitates interoperability between disparate key management systems by adhering to the KMIP open standard. The company's customer base consists largely of technology vendors and OEMs rather than end-user enterprises directly. Customers include major storage vendors (Dell, NetApp, HPE, Hitachi), security companies (Thales, Gemalto, Entrust, Trend Micro, Vormetric), cloud and data management firms (Commvault, Cohesity, Netskope), and government entities such as the US Army. Cryptsoft also played an active role in OASIS, the standards body responsible for the KMIP specification, contributing to technical development and interoperability testing. Their SDKs support use cases including data-at-rest encryption key management, cloud data security, and enterprise key management server deployments. The company also collaborated with the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) to develop KMIP conformance testing programs.
