  • OCI Vault

    A customer-managed encryption service that enables you to control the keys that are hosted in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) hardware security modules (HSMs) while Oracle administers the HSMs.

  • OCI Dedicated KMS

    A single-tenant HSM partition as a service that provides a fully isolated environment for storing and managing encryption keys. You can control and claim ownership of the HSM partitions and use standard interfaces, such as PKCS#11, to perform cryptographic operations.

  • OCI External KMS

    Enables you to use your own third-party key management system to protect data in OCI services. You control the keys and HSMs outside OCI, and you’re responsible for the administration and manageability of those HSMs.

OCI Key Management Service features

Adopt a cloud key management service to encrypt enterprise data.

Store keys in a certified security module

Manage the security of encryption keys that protect data and the secret credentials used to securely access resources by storing them in a FIPS 140-2, Level 3-certified, hardware security module (HSM).
