The process of handling and controlling cryptographic keys and associated material during their life cycle in a cryptographic system. This includes ordering, generating, distributing, storing, loading, escrowing, archiving, auditing, and destroying the different types of material.
The process of distributing shared symmetric keys needed to run a security protocol.
The administration and use of the generation, registration, certification, deregistration, distribution, installation, storage, archiving, revocation, derivation and destruction of keying material in accordance with a security policy.
Key management functions such as key expiration and renewal, key recovery, and key escrow, etc. are used to maintain and support keys.
The generation, storage, distribution, deletion, archiving and application of keys securely.
Secure management of private keys for public key cryptography. Windows 2000 manages private keys and keeps them confidential with CryptoAPI and CSPs. See also private key; CryptoAPI; cryptographic service provider.
Process by which key is generated, stored, protected, transferred, loaded, used, and destroyed.
The way in which you manage security association (SA)
Much like the key control of masterkeyed codes in a mechanical key system, key management in an electronic system is the process of controlling badge IDs, facility codes, and ensure the secure integrity of extensions in a system to avoid distributing duplicate codes.
Mechanisms and process for secure creation, storage and handling of key material.
In PKI architecture it is important that the generation, use and storage of secret keys are handled securely. When key management is arranged carefully, it is possible to use smart cards in a multi-application environment.
The process by which keys are created, authenticated, issued, distributed, stored, recovered, and revoked.
The process of managing the keys used for data encryption.
The processes by which keys in a public key infrastructure are managed in a secure way including such acts as distribution, revocation, suspension, and archiving.
The process and procedure for safely storing and distributing accurate cryptographic keys; the overall process of generating and distributing cryptographic key to authorized recipients in a secure manner.
The process by which cryptographic keys and messages are managed and protected
The way in which you manage security associations.
Key Management is the process and procedures pertaining to key generation, key storage, key archiving, key distribution, key production, key accounting, key history, key usage and key renewal.
The process and procedure for safely storing and distributing accurate cryptographic keys, the overall process of generating and securely distributing cryptographic keys to authorised recipients.
The various processes that deal with the creation, distribution, authentication, and storage of keys.
From XML Key Management (XKMS 2.0) Requirements ( 2003-05-05) | Glossary for this source Key management relates to the management of a public key's validity status over its lifetime. Typically, operations are defined for controlling the validity (e.g. register, revoke) and querying the validity.
In cryptography, key management includes all of the provisions made in a cryptosystem design, in cryptographic protocols in that design, in user procedures, and so on, which are related to generation, exchange, storage, safeguarding, use, vetting, and replacement of keys. There is a distinction between key management, which concerns keys at the users' level (i.e., passed between systems or users or both), and key scheduling which is usually taken to apply to the handling of key material within the operation of a cipher.
