Alliance
AES Encryption for UNIX
Alliance
AES Encryption for UNIX provides strong encryption for
AIX and Solaris platforms. Alliance supports 128-bit,
192-bit and 256-bit encryption using all of the standard
NIST modes of encryption. Enterprise customers running
AIX or Solaris can deploy the Alliance solution to meet
regulatory requirements such as PCI, Sarbanes-Oxley,
HIPAA, Privacy Notification, and GLBA.
Regulatory
standards
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) has been
adopted as a standard by the US government and many
state and local agencies. AES encryption technology has
been incorporated into many data security products. The National
Institute of Standards and Technology has codified
AES encryption as FIPS-197.
For credit card security, AES is one of the
recommended encryption methods of the Payment Card
Industry (PCI) standard. AES meets the
requirements of strong encryption defined by the
California privacy notification act (SB1386) and similar
state notification laws. AES encryption also satisfies the
data security requirements of the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) for the
medical industry.
Encryption modes
Alliance AES Encryption for UNIX supports all of the
NIST approved modes of operation including Electronic
Code Book (ECB), Cipher Block Chaining (CBC), Counter
(CTR), Cipher Feed Back (CFB), and Output Feed Back
(OFB). By supporting all of the NIST modes of encryption
you have the greatest flexibility and range of
capabilities for your encryption needs.
DB2
field encryption
Alliance AES Encryption for UNIX includes Application Program
Interfaces (APIs) to enable encrypting and decrypting
individual columns in a DB2 database. These APIs are ideal for encrypting credit card numbers, social
security numbers, or other sensitive information in your
database. The DB2 field encryption APIs are compatible
with Alliance AES encryption on all of the other
supported platforms including Microsoft Windows, Linux,
IBM System i (AS/400, iSeries), and IBM System z
(Mainframe, S/390).
Oracle field encryption
Alliance AES Encryption for UNIX includes Application Program
Interfaces (APIs) to enable encrypting and decrypting
individual columns in an Oracle database. These APIs are ideal for encrypting credit card numbers, social
security numbers, or other sensitive information in your
database. The Oracle field encryption APIs are
compatible with Alliance AES encryption on all of the
other supported platforms including Microsoft Windows,
Linux, IBM System i (AS/400, iSeries), and IBM System z
(Mainframe, S/390). You can use these APIs in place of
the built-in Oracle encryption to achieve maximum
compatibility across all server platforms.
Key management
Alliance AES Encryption for UNIX can be used with third
party key management solutions such as nCipher
keyAuthority and RSA Key Manager. By combining
Enterprise key management with Alliance AES Encryption
for UNIX you can achieve the best implementation for
strong encryption and strong key management.
