The Manufacturer-Class RKMS Series provides a broad range of enterprise-level encryption key management functions, including key generation, distribution, injection, deletion, and tracking that can be directly integrated into manufacturing processes of any level of complexity. It is also capable of securely and remotely distributing encryption keys over a secured IP network, thereby eliminating the costly and cumbersome manual process of having to physically input keys. Integrated support for chained Certificate Authority hierarchies allows the device to seamlessly fit in to existing PKI-based security infrastructure.

Scalability, Redundancy, and Adaptability

In today's rapidly-changing technological environment, organizations should have hardware that is capable of growing and adapting along with their manufacturing processes. That is why the Manufacturer-Class RKMS Series has been designed to be device-independent and flexible enough to handle user-definable methods of input and output.

Integrated disaster recovery and redundancy features provide fault-tolerant, high-availability characteristics to a system which is capable of withstanding the most demanding production schedules. Cross-device backup and replication capabilities between local and remote Manufacturer-Class RKMS Series units can be integrated to ensure that operations function flawlessly no matter where manufacturing and deployment activities occur.

Our elite and versatile engineering team is made up of experienced subject matter experts who have crafted the Manufacturer-Class RKMS Series with an open-ended interface to handle not only current, but also emerging data encryption requirements. A highly-extendable firmware allows specific modifications to be rapidly developed, tested, and brought to market.

Automated & Streamlined Process

The Manufacturer-Class RKMS Series offers innovative features for remotely automating the key management process. Manufacturer requirements are able to determine the level of automation which is implemented, allowing organizations to modify device deployment and management procedures over time.

Not all devices managed by the Manufacturer-Class RKMS Series need to be Internet-enabled. For remote or offline devices, features such as customized templates for secure key mailer printing provide a secure method of retaining control from a centralized location.

Seamless Integration

Our Manufacturer-Class RKMS Series performs a flawless integration with the host server that is managing the production process for your devices. Your updated keys are securely transferred to the host server as cryptograms using a key exchange key. The Manufacturer-Class RKMS Series also has an API and command set for direct host application software integration.

We have designed innovative features that are available only in the Futurex Manufacturer-Class RKMS Series.
