Double Key Encryption of Office 365 - For When Trusting Microsoft Isn’t Good-Enough

Most of us have confidence in Microsoft’s ability to protect Office 365 content hosted in Azure. The consequences for Microsoft, and its customers, would be too high to tolerate anything less than industry-leading security. But what if Azure is compelled to provide access to sensitive content or to meet specific jurisdictional privacy regulations. This is where DuoKey’s recently announced key service, based on multiparty computation (MPC) is a game-changer.

If I had a KMaaS in 2013

This is a story about how I came to wish for a pure-cloud Key Management System (KMS), delivered in the form of a SaaS offering, for the strong encryption of unstructured data. In other words, a true Key Management as a Service (KMaaS) that could be decoupled entirely from expensive conventional Hardware Security Module (HSM) appliances, deliver cryptographic security (rather than password or trust based), and yet, scale at cloud economics.
