Certified integration eases how cryptography is added to containerized applications
Entrust, a leading provider of trusted identities, payments and data protection, has announced its new partnership with Mirantis and the certification of its nShield® hardware security modules (HSMs) with the Mirantis Kubernetes Engine. Entrust nShield HSMs become the first Mirantis-certified HSMs in the market to deliver enhanced security to the Mirantis Kubernetes Engine. The new certified integration provides a root of trust, enabling developers to add the robust cryptographic services offered by nShield HSMs to containerized applications.

“Mirantis Kubernetes Engine is the industry-leading container orchestration platform for developing and running modern applications at scale, anywhere.”
The Mirantis Kubernetes Engine is a container platform for accelerating the development and delivery of modern applications. The platform provides developers with greater choice, simple onboarding and automation across DevOps, and a secure pipeline to Kubernetes environments that can run anywhere.
On-premises nShield or nShield as a Service HSMs, running the nShield Container Option Pack, now integrate with Mirantis Kubernetes Engine. Entrust nShield HSMs provide a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 and Common Criteria EAL4+ high assurance environment for generating the cryptographic keys used to sign, verify and encrypt sensitive data for the Mirantis Kubernetes Engine. Application developers now can access cryptographic functionality – including enhanced key generation, signing, and encryption – within the container-based environment, protecting sensitive application data and transactions.
“Mirantis Kubernetes Engine is the industry-leading container orchestration platform for developing and running modern applications at scale, anywhere.” said John Allwright, Vice President of Marketing at Mirantis. “As containerized applications become the de facto methodology for modern software development, integrated and trusted access to robust cryptography is imperative. Entrust nShield HSMs provide that additional pillar of security and trust developers need.”
