Task description

Encryption key inventory and management system

The Encryption Key Management System (CKMS) handles, manages, stores, and monitors encryption keys. The management system can be implemented as an automated tool or as a more manual implementation.

The organization must have the means to monitor and report on all encryption materials and their status using an encryption key management system. The cryptographic key management system should be used at least to:

  • Track changes to cryptographic states
  • Generate and distribute cryptographic keys
  • Generate public-key certificates
  • For monitoring unidentified encrypted assets
  • For cataloging, archiving, and backing up encryption keys
  • Maintains a database of connections to an organization's certificate and encryption key structures
