KeySafe 5 v1.5.0 User Guide

The KeySafe 5 platform (KeySafe 5) is a system to enable the management of an estate of HSMs through a web-based graphical user interface. KeySafe 5 also contains a REST API which can be used directly if required to provide custom management of the estate.

For each nShield host machine that you want to manage using this platform, you must install a KeySafe 5 agent alongside the existing nShield hardserver, see KeySafe 5 Agent Concept. A KeySafe 5 agent is installed on the nShield Connect for nShield Connect images released with Security World v13.4 and later software. This allows KeySafe 5 to manage the nShield Connect without requiring a nShield agent installed on a client machine of the Connect.

For additional information on installing, upgrading, and deploying KeySafe 5, see the KeySafe 5 Installation and Upgrade Guide.
