Oracle Key Vault securely stores encryption keys, Oracle Wallets, Java KeyStores, credential files, and other secrets with a scalable, fault-tolerant cluster that supports the OASIS KMIP standard and deploys on-premises and in the cloud.
Oracle Key Vault 21.5 is now available with simplified secrets management and administration.
Oracle Key Vault is specifically engineered to deliver high performance and flexible encryption key management for Oracle Transparent Data Encryption, part of Oracle Advanced Security. It works with advanced database architectures, such as Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC), Oracle Data Guard, RMAN backups, and Oracle Multitenant pluggable databases, and scales to support highly consolidated workloads on engineered systems, such as Oracle Exadata and Exadata Cloud@Customer.
Oracle Key Vault 21.5 introduces non-extractable TDE master keys
Reduce complexity and strengthen security by centrally storing and delivering passwords, tokens, SSH keys, Java KeyStores, certificates, wallets, and other secrets to authorized users and servers. Key Vault works with other systems that support the KMIP protocol and includes C and Java SDKs for custom integration. The impact of losing one of these secrets can be catastrophic. Key Vault mitigates that risk while maximizing availability, reducing management burden and deployment effort.
High-availability cluster deployment supports up to 16 fully replicated Key Vault nodes, each capable of read/write operations. Scale the cluster without downtime, support geographically distributed systems, and enable high levels of resource utilization with no idle standby servers.
Key Vault is engineered to work seamlessly throughout the Oracle ecosystem with support for Oracle Database, Oracle MySQL, Oracle Exadata, Oracle RAC, Oracle Data Guard, Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance, and more. Key Vault is specifically designed to meet the demanding performance requirements of a busy IT stack, providing secure, centralized storage and management of keys in a highly available key management cluster.
Available in the Oracle Cloud Marketplace, Key Vault offers prebuilt images so organizations can get started and improve database security in just minutes. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)-based Key Vault clusters provide fault-tolerant, continuous key management services to on-premises, hybrid, or multicloud database deployments.
Key Vault provides RESTful APIs for cluster monitoring, database enrollment, and automation, allowing management of large numbers of databases and reducing the cost of administration by eliminating the repetitive tasks of manual database registration. A refreshed management console with new dashboards and built-in reports allows administrators to quickly drill down into the various keys and secrets, along with the endpoints and their users.
Embrace a more secure alternative to using local wallets. Remove encryption keys from the database server and reduce the risk of compromise.
