Abstract	The last twenty-five years has witnessed an emphasis on protecting the network and computing host as a proxy for protecting data from unauthorized access. While this was a reasonable strategy at the dawn of network-based computing, given the state of the internet today with its security issues, this strategy is proving to be hopeless. This paper advances the notion that the time has finally come to begin what we should have done initially -- protect the core of our computing infrastructure: the data -- in addition to protecting the network and computing host. The paper describes an architecture - and a specific implementation of that architecture - to enable the encryption of data across the enterprise in a platform and application-independent manner. The architecture describes the use of a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and a Symmetric Key Management System (SKMS) within an Enterprise Key Management Infrastructure (EKMI), to securely - and centrally - manage the life-cycle of the symmetric encryption keys used for data encryption.
