How security & control is achieved for DKE
Double Key Encryption (DKE) works on the principle of using two keys for protecting sensitive data in the cloud. One key is stored at the customers location of choice in FIPS 140-2 validated, Common Criteria (CC) certified and VS-NfD approved HSM, while another key is hosted in Azure. Should a key be compromised that is outside of customer’s control, the data remains secure. Without access to both keys, the relevant data remains securely encrypted.

Utimaco DKE Anchor helps increase trust in the digital society by using a double key encryption process. It enables the industries to secure the data with trusted key control and management.
