CipherTrust

CipherTrust Manager is Thales's centralized key- and data-security management platform and the control plane of the CipherTrust Data Security Platform (CDSP). It provides a unified plane for encryption key lifecycle management, secrets management, certificates, tokenization, data discovery, and policy enforcement across on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, with HSM/KMIP integration, Kubernetes and DevSecOps support, role-based access controls, and post-quantum cryptography readiness. Developers and platform teams automate it through a REST API (base path /api/v1, JWT bearer authentication), an official HashiCorp Terraform provider (ThalesGroup/ciphertrust), an Ansible collection, and PowerShell orchestration modules, plus Application Protection SDKs for embedding encryption, key management, and tokenization in apps.

CipherTrust publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Security, Encryption, Key Management, and Secrets Management.

CipherTrust’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, support, authentication, and 13 more developer resources.

- name: CipherTrust Manager REST API
  description: REST API for the CipherTrust Manager control plane. Manages encryption keys, secrets, certificates, tokenization,
    users, connections, and policies. Base path /api/v1 with JWT bearer authentication obtained from POST /api/v1/auth/tokens.
    The API is served from the customer's CipherTrust Manager deployment (appliance, private cloud, or CipherTrust Data Security
    Platform as a Service), so there is no single public base host; a built-in Swagger playground ships on each instance.
