1.0 Introduction
This article describes the Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM) Filesystem Encryption solution based on the open-source software cppcryptfs.
With this solution, Fortanix DSM protects and manages keys and policies that allow users to access the encrypted filesystem.
The following are some of the benefits of this solution:
By leveraging the Fortanix DSM key management features, users get complete control over the key management for accessing the encrypted filesystem.
It eliminates the need to memorize complex passwords and reduces the chance of password exposure.
Protect crypto keys and policy objects using Quorum policies on Fortanix DSM.
With DSM’s audit logging feature, every operation with the keys will be logged.
