Cloud-native, easily deployable solution

Key management is a critical part of data security and encryption — it plays a pivotal role in protecting sensitive data such as keys, certificates and operational secrets. Most companies run highly complex HSM systems, which creates challenges for the modern world of hybrid cloud solutions.

Partisia Key Management provides a unique enterprise key management solution that solves the challenge of "Bring Your Own Key" requirements without running a full operational HSM setup or being dependent on a specific cloud provider.

It runs as a cloud-native, easily deployable solution that integrates seamlessly with all on-premise and cloud solutions, with the highest standard of enterprise integrations and operations. It provides the newest standards in Post Quantum Secure key encryption — both in the cloud and on any on-premise solution.

Security features

Partisia Key Management is designed to prioritize data security and user privacy, empowering organizations to control and activate their data across services and platforms.

  • GDPR compliance

    Adheres to data protection regulations with a transparent and privacy-focused framework for data activation.

  • Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI)

    Empowers users with decentralized identities, allowing them to manage and control personal data without centralized authorities.

  • Provable consent mechanism

    Cryptographic, immutable, and auditable consent logs ensure data usage aligns strictly with user permissions.

  • Privacy-preserving data activation

    Advanced cryptographic techniques, including Multi-Party Computation (MPC), perform computations on encrypted data so sensitive information stays confidential throughout its lifecycle.

  • Immutable ledger

    Blockchain-based infrastructure maintains transparent and tamper-proof records of all data transactions and consents.

Hybrid Cloud Key Management

Partisia Key Management for hybrid cloud manages all of your encryption keys in a unified and scalable way. The system can be deployed anywhere, providing a simple and intuitive solution for generating, managing, and orchestrating encryption keys. It uses post-quantum secure key protocols, so any encryption is secure from future attacks.

It scales vertically to any cloud and supports DevOps and SecOps with enterprise single sign-on and access controls. Any service running in your hybrid infrastructure can receive keys using standard APIs — either via cloud providers or directly from Partisia Key Management.

The system is a direct replacement for HSM solutions and supports running alongside your current HSM, allowing keys to be migrated securely.

Fault-tolerant by design

High availability, disaster recovery, and jurisdiction management for all keys.

Enterprise lifecycle management

Manage keys through an intuitive UI or via Command Line Interface (CLI) automation.

Safe Sign offline transaction signing

Safe Sign

Asynchronous offline key generation and offline transaction signing using Secure Multiparty Computation with the Partisia Platform. Generate offline key signatures between fully offline devices, such as smartphones, and use those keys to sign transactions and behaviours via QR codes — provable and secure signing of any transaction.

Integrates seamlessly with both on-premise and cloud providers

Partisia Key Management lets customers operate fluidly with keys, certificates, and secrets across the modern hybrid cloud. We provide full control so customers can run keys with the utmost security and compliance, scaling across clouds at availability and region level.

Customers can generate their own keys and bring them into use for any service in their infrastructure, using secure APIs or cloud providers' standard external KMS integrations. They retain full control over all keys — a cloud-native answer to Bring Your Own Key that removes the barrier of buying HSM hardware and provides a much-needed easier path to running key management at scale.

Characteristics

Partisia Key Management enables cloud-native approaches, where organisations can easily deploy the solution to protect encryption keys, certificates, and secrets across their whole infrastructure.

  • Full automation

    Automate scaling to any data center and cloud.

  • Full audibility

    Auditable logs of any key interaction.

  • Disaster recovery

    Recover all keys, even after a breach of any system.

  • Lifecycle management

    Enterprise lifecycle management of keys via intuitive UI or CLI automation.

  • Easy integration

    Plug into external systems — CMDB, CI/CD, cloud providers and more.

  • Generate, store, and use keys

    Securely handle cryptographic keys, certificates, and secrets in one place.

  • Highest standard of compliance

    Designed to support and expand on new regulations.

  • Reduced complexity

    Less operational overhead than running an HSM estate.

Your pain points

HSM-based key management hasn't kept up with hybrid cloud reality.

  • Costly and inflexible

    Current HSM-based solutions are expensive and rigid.

  • Slow delivery

    Standing up an HSM-based solution takes months.

  • Vendor lock-in

    HSM solutions use proprietary hardware from a single vendor.

  • Hard to scale

    HSMs require multiple boxes isolated across different data center locations.

  • Expensive redundancy

    Replicating HSM estates is very costly.

  • Hardware-bound

    HSM operations only scale by buying more hardware.

  • Dedicated connections

    HSM solutions rely on expensive dedicated fiber connections.

  • Cross-cloud complexity

    Automating HSM systems across data centers and clouds is challenging and costly.

How to deploy our solutions

At Partisia, we believe true innovation comes when you can leverage data without compromise. Explore three ways to deploy the platform and key management across your operations.

  1. 01

    Deploy and operate as a single entity

    The customer downloads the software and deploys, with a single click, a network controlled entirely by the customer.

  2. 02

    Join an operational network as a node operator

    The customer is invited to an existing network and downloads the software, deployed with a single click.

  3. 03

    Join an operational network

    A network of node operators already runs the Partisia Platform. Integration is reduced to wiring up APIs or building tailored services using the built-in smart contract language.

Managing cryptographic keys is native operations in the cloud — our platform is built for the cloud and exposes the core infrastructure feature for working with keys. This gives businesses access to fully programmable, flexible, and scalable key infrastructure as a software service.
