nøklerhemmelige
Nøklerhemmelige, literally meaning secret keys in Norwegian, is a term used in information security to refer to cryptographic keys that must be kept secret. The secrecy of these keys is essential to maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of encrypted data. The term is commonly used in security policies, risk assessments, and compliance discussions.
In cryptography, a secret key can refer to symmetric keys used in symmetric algorithms (such as AES
Key management: generation, distribution, storage, rotation, and revocation are critical. Keys should be generated with sufficient
Security considerations: leakage of secret keys allows attackers to decrypt data, impersonate parties, or sign forged
Standards and practice: organizations often align with standards such as ISO/IEC 27001, NIST SP 800-57, and PCI-DSS.
