Overview

Sixscape’s IDcentral Key Management Platform with Securosys Primus HSMs and CloudHSM services allows to securely escrow S/MIME encryption key pairs using the Sixscape Email Security Suite and IDcentral Identity Registration Platform.

S/MIME key escrow in Sixscape’s IDcentral Key Management Platform ensures secure, compliant, and centralized storage and management of cryptographic keys, enabling data recovery and business continuity in case of key loss. This enhances security, supports regulatory compliance, and simplifies key management for users.
