Framework For Designing Cryptographic Key Management Systems

Download or read book Framework for Designing Cryptographic Key Management Systems written by Elaine Barker and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Framework was initiated as a part of the NIST Cryptographic Key Management Workshop. The goal was to define and develop technologies and standards that provide cost-effective security to cryptographic keys that themselves are used to protect computing and information processing applications. A Framework is a description of the components (i.e., building blocks) that can be combined or used in various ways to create a ¿system¿ (e.g., a group of objects working together to perform a vital function). This Framework identifies and discusses the components of a cryptographic key management system (CKMS) and provides requirements for CKMS design specifications conforming to this Framework.
