Schlüsselmanagement
Schlüsselmanagement, also known as key management, refers to the processes and procedures involved in managing cryptographic keys throughout their lifecycle. This lifecycle includes key generation, storage, distribution, usage, rotation, and destruction. Effective Schlüsselmanagement is crucial for the security of encrypted data and secure communication.
The primary goal of Schlüsselmanagement is to ensure that cryptographic keys are protected from unauthorized access,
Key generation involves creating new cryptographic keys using secure algorithms. These keys are then typically stored
Key usage involves employing the keys for their intended cryptographic operations. Key rotation is the periodic
Various standards and best practices exist to guide organizations in implementing robust Schlüsselmanagement. Compliance with these
