Introduction

Entrust KeyControl has been rebranded as the Entrust Cryptographic Security Platform (CSP) Key Manager.

The Entrust CSP Key Manager continues to provide a comprehensive solution for discovering and managing the lifecycles of cryptographic keys, secrets, certificates, tokens, libraries, protocols, and configurations:

  • The KeyControl Compliance Manager is now the Entrust CSP Compliance Manager. It still integrates with Entrust nShield Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) to protect the master keys for the CSP.

  • KeyControl Vault is now the Entrust Cryptographic Security Platform Vault. The Cryptographic Security Platform Vaults also still integrate with Entrust nShield HSMs to provide an optional HSM root of trust.

Because the Entrust integrations are tested against specific product versions, this guide is still branded as a "KeyControl" integration. It was tested against a pre-CSP version of KeyControl.

Exercise caution when using an Entrust Integration Guide with a product version that does not match the tested version, because your version might not function in exactly the same way.

Entrust cannot guarantee the success of integrations in configurations other than those indicated in the guide. This guide remains on the website for customers using pre-CSP versions of KeyControl.

This document describes the procedure to integrate Entrust KeyControl and Microsoft SQL Server TDE for establishing KeyControl as an EKM provider for SQL Server.
