Sentinel LDK Protection Process

When you are developing your software, your engineers integrate a variety of calls to data stored in the memory of the Sentinel protection key.

Encryption and Decryption

Sentinel LDK encryption and decryption are based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. The encryption secret of the algorithm is stored in the Sentinel protection key. To enhance security, all communication between an application and a Sentinel protection key is randomly encrypted. This inhibits emulation of a Sentinel protection key.
