Alliance AES Encryption for Windows

Alliance AES Encryption for Windows provides strong encryption for Microsoft platforms including Windows NT/2000/XP/2003. Alliance supports 128-bit, 192-bit and 256-bit encryption using all of the standard NIST modes of encryption. Enterprise customers running Windows 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 Encryption for Windows meets the requirements of strong encryption defined by the California privacy notification act (SB1386) and similar state notification laws. Alliance AES Encryption for Windows 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 Windows 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.

Microsoft SQL Server field encryption
Alliance AES Encryption for Windows includes Application Program Interfaces (APIs) to enable encrypting and decrypting individual columns in Microsoft SQL Server relational database files. These APIs are ideal for encrypting credit card numbers, social security numbers, or other sensitive information in your database. The field encryption APIs are compatible with Alliance AES encryption on all of the other supported platforms including UNIX, Linux, IBM System i (AS/400, iSeries), and IBM System z (Mainframe, S/390). 


Key management
Alliance AES Encryption for Windows can be used with third party key management solutions such as nCipher keyAuthority. By combining Enterprise key management with Alliance AES Encryption for Windows you can achieve the best implementation for strong encryption and strong key management.
