TecSec's Constructive Key Management (CKM®) Technology
Constructive Key Management® (CKM®) is TecSec’s standards-based and patented key management encryption system that forms the foundation of TecSec’s product line. CKM® is a cryptographic key management framework that answers the urgent need for information security, access management and complete recoverability of digital assets. In today’s vastly networked world with digitalized applications such as Voice Over IP (VOIP), Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP), and Virtual Private Networks (VPN), the need has never been greater to identify authorized users, protect and control sensitive information assets, and manage access to information, in compliance with privacy statutes and regulations.
CKM® technology protects information down to the object level. It can secure any object from a field in a healthcare claim form—to a selected portion of a Microsoft® Word Document—to an entire file of real-time, streaming digital media. CKM® is at the core of an advanced Role Based Access Control (RBAC) system that allows secured information to be shared among groups of users, each group having different levels of access to the secured information. CKM® encrypts at the information level and manages information sharing relationships via cryptography. It is well understood that network perimeter defenses (firewalls, anti-virus, etc.) must be supplemented with the protection of the network content and TecSec's CKM® products and solutions provide the protection of the content to effectively supplement network defenses.
