Data Encryption, Key Management, and HSM for Chinese Enterprises

CipherGateway is the product brand of Beijing Lianshi Networks Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese data security vendor headquartered in Beijing. Its buyers are government bodies, state-owned enterprises, financial institutions, and organizations in healthcare, energy, manufacturing, utilities, and the defense sector that must encrypt sensitive data and demonstrate compliance with commercial cryptography rules set by the State Cryptography Administration. The line spans application data encryption, key management, hardware cryptographic servers, sensitive data discovery, and data leakage prevention.

The Data Storage Encryption System is the anchor product. It encrypts specified database fields and document files through configuration alone, without re-coding the applications that sit above the data, which is the usual barrier to retrofitting encryption onto legacy systems. Around that it adds data discovery to locate personal information, attribute and role-based access control, dynamic desensitization tied to the identity of the logged-in user, and tamper-resistant audit logs covering data access.

The Key Management System handles the full key lifecycle, including generation, storage, distribution, backup, update, revocation, archiving, and recovery, speaks KMIP to cryptographic hardware, and records signed operator actions for audit. The Cryptographic Server HSM supports SM national algorithms alongside international standards, runs multiple units in parallel for throughput and failover, and serves PKI, CA certification, electronic seals, e-government, and online banking. Both have passed State Cryptography Administration inspection against its published testing specifications.
