Integration
Move the trust boundary. Do not break the operational workflow.
VESTA operates as a local cryptographic gateway and control plane between business applications, storage, IAM, HSMs, audit and recovery services.
Business application
Read, write, share, export and restore requests.
VESTA Gateway
Object resolution, policy and orchestration.
IAM & device trust
Identity, role, session and workstation evidence.
Cryptographic domains
Physical local HSM and independent cloud HSM.
Existing storage
Workstation, NAS, private cloud, public cloud or archive.
Application contract
Applications receive services and opaque references, not cryptographic secrets.
The contract remains explicit, versioned and compatible with existing business workflows while keeping the private engine unreachable from business modules.
Context-rich requests
User, role, session, workstation, protected object, owner, purpose and sharing context.
Stable operation model
Explicit store, read, share, export, snapshot registration and recovery operations.
Controlled delivery
Streamed content or temporary clear files according to application compatibility.
Typed failure responses
Clear authorization, availability, integrity, conflict and cryptographic error semantics.
Opaque identifiers
Business modules handle references without gaining access to protected secret material.
Strict engine boundary
Only the VESTA gateway can invoke private cryptographic functions; connectors never call them directly.
Deployment profile
Incremental integration. No storage lock-in.
Start with one protected workflow, prove the end-to-end control path, then expand by data class, site and operation.
No shadow business database
VESTA keeps the active ledger minimal and binds to the authoritative business system instead of replicating sensitive metadata.
No hidden recovery gap
Snapshot registration binds the business database and VESTA state to the same backup consistency point.
No universal application key
The business application never becomes a permanent holder of the complete decryption authority.
Integration is successful when the user workflow remains familiar — while the old single decryption shortcut no longer exists.
