nCipher Security, an Entrust Datacard company, announces its support for new key import method for Azure Key Vault, allowing customers to generate and transfer encryption keys to Azure Key Vault using an on-premises or as a service nShield HSM, giving them complete control over both their keys and their data security.

Azure Key Vault helps safeguard cryptographic keys and secrets that cloud applications and services use.

"Microsoft and nCipher pioneered Bring Your Own Key to offer customers control over keys they use in the cloud for data encryption and other cryptographic applications." says Amit Bapat, Product Manager for Azure Key Vault at Microsoft.

"Over 60 Microsoft cloud services support encryption of customers' data with keys that they BYOK into Azure Key Vault. We are happy to announce a new BYOK method that offers Azure customers more flexibility and better automation for importing their keys into Key Vault. In addition, it is based on open standards which will allow customers to import keys from any HSM.".

"We believe that encryption keys belong to the customer, not the HSM vendor. Our unique Security World key management architecture ensures that customers are always in control of their keys and are not locked to an HSM vendor."
