Organizations rely on key distribution to exchange and protect highly sensitive data. But legacy key management processes can be error-prone, expensive to manage – and breakable. Distributed Symmetric Key Establishment (DSKE) is a modern key distribution technology. It fully automates the creation and distribution of symmetric keys, without relying on computational complexity or asymmetric encryption. DSKE is the industry’s first scalable symmetric key technology, combining the scalability of PKI, the security of quantum key distribution (QKD) and the simplicity of pre-shared keys.
DSKE is the industry’s first key distribution technology that delivers future-proofed security at scale without the use of any asymmetric cryptography.
DSKE relies on pre-shared random numbers between DSKE clients and a group of Security Hubs. Any group of DSKE clients can use the DSKE protocol to distill from the pre-shared numbers a secret key. The clients are protected from Security Hub compromise via a secret sharing scheme that allows the creation of the final key without the need to trust individual Security Hubs.
