Voltage IBE Toolkit
Securing Your Applications: Voltage IBE Toolkit
The Voltage IBE Toolkit is a set of tools that enable developers to quickly and easily incorporate Identity-Based Encryption into their applications. Using the Voltage IBE Toolkit, applications can seamlessly integrate with the Voltage Security platform and take advantage of its centralized administration, advanced policy management, and key distribution architecture.
The Toolkit provides high-level interfaces for rapid application development as well as lower-level cryptographic APIs for advanced security operations. The IBE Toolkit is FIPS 140-2 compliant and is suitable both for ISVs looking to integrate robust security into their products as well as enterprises wanting to secure internal applications.
The Toolkit is available at no charge, and source code is provided. It is currently supported on Windows and Redhat Linux, but is easily portable to other platforms.

Voltage IBE Toolkit Benefits
Identity-Based Encryption : The Voltage IBE Toolkit is the only commercially available SDK that implements IBE. IBE enables data to be secured to any user, machine, or entity without the need for certificates or pre-enrollment, enabling an extremely lightweight encryption system.
Platform Integration: Applications built using the Toolkit can transparently leverage the Voltage Enterprise Privacy Management Platform for key management, authentication, and transport. Existing IBE keys can be used for new applications, and data can be secured in formats compatible with existing Voltage applications.
Rapid Application Development: The Toolkit offers high-level APIs that require no knowledge of cryptography or data security algorithms. An email message or file can be encrypted in just a few function calls.
Source Code Provided: Well-documented source is provided, enabling easy debugging. The source code may be modified or extended to suit the specific needs of an application.
FIPS Certification: The Toolkit's Cryptographic Module has been awarded FIPS 140-2 certification by NIST. FIPS, the Federal Information Processing Standards, are a set of standards created by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to ensure correct implementation and interoperability of cryptographic systems. Voltage IBE is also in progress for Common Criteria.
