QUANTUM SCALAR I6000 & SAFENET KEYSECURE QUICK START GUIDE 4
Quantum Scalar i6000 & SafeNet KeySecure Quick Start
Guide
SafeNet’s KeySecure k460 servers work with Quantum’s Scalar i6000 appliance server to create a KMIP-
compliant encryption system. The Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP®) is a specification
developed by OASIS®. Its function is to standardize communication between enterprise key management
systems and encryption systems.
Details about the Quantum Scalar i6000/SafeNet k460 KMIP-compliant implementation include:
• A minimum of two SafeNet KeySecure servers are required for failover purposes. A total of 10 SafeNet
encryption servers are allowed, for increased failover capability.
• Data encryption keys are generated one at a time, as needed, upon request.
This document summarizes the information available in the quick start and user guides that accompany
your Quantum Scalar i6000 library and SafeNet KeySecure appliances and provides step-by-step
instruction for configuring the devices for combined use. For detailed information about each individual
product, such as feature configuration instructions and hardware specifics, consult the following
