A system for secure key management is provided. The system includes a computer processor and an application configured to execute on the computer processor, the application implementing a method. The method includes populating a section of information associated with a key, the section of information being populated with information relating to a level of protection of the key accumulated over time. Secure key management further includes securely binding the section of information to the key, wherein the key is encrypted.

Key creation includes sending a first public key part from a first system to a second system, receiving a second public key part sent by the second system to the first system and establishing a first secret material in the first system using the first and second public key parts, wherein the first secret material is identical to a second secret material established on the second system using the first and second key parts. Key creation also includes binding key control information to the first secret material in the first system, wherein the key control information includes information relating to key type and key management and deriving a first key material from the combination of the key control information and the first secret material, wherein the first key material is identical to a second key material derived by the second system.

A system for implementing secure key management is provided. The system includes a computer processor and an application configured to execute on the computer processor, the application implementing a method. The method includes populating a section of information associated with a key, the section being populated with information relating to how the key was created. The method also includes populating the section with information relating to how the key was acquired by a secure module; and binding the section to the key, wherein the key is encrypted.

A system includes a processor configured to perform a method, the method comprising receiving a first key token, second key token and a request to combine the first key token with the second key token, identifying a key type of the first key token and a key type of the second key token, determining whether the key type of the first key token may be combined with the key type of the second key token, combining the first key token with the second key token to create a third key token responsive to determining that the key type of the first key token may be combined with the key type of the second key token, and outputting the third key token.
摘要:
A computer program product for secure key management is provided. The computer program product includes a tangible storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for creating a token and populating the token with key material, and binding key control information to the key material. The key control information includes information relating to usage of the key material populating one or more key usage fields that define attributes that limit actions that may be performed with the key material.

A system for implementing computer security is provided. The system includes a computer processor and an application configured to execute on the computer processor, the application implementing a method that includes creating a token and populating a payload section of the token with key material and selecting a wrapping method that specifies how the key material is securely bound to key control information. A structure of the key control information in the token is independent of the wrapping method. Implementing computer security also includes wrapping the key material and binding key control information to the key material in the token. The key control information includes information relating to usage and management of the key material.

A computer program product is provided and includes a tangible storage medium readable by a processing circuit and on which instructions are stored for execution by the processing circuit for validating parameters passed to a parameter database, computing a length required for control vector CV data, preparing an optional block in accordance with a result of the computation, converting the CV to a format for a standardized key block while copying the converted CV into the optional block and updating optional block data in the standardized key block.
摘要:
A system for creating a secure key is provided that includes a computer processor and an application configured to execute on the computer processor, the application implementing a method that includes creating a token and populating a key control information section of the token with a value to indicate a minimum number of key parts used to form a key. Creating the secure key also includes populating a payload section of the token with a first key part, binding the key control information section to the payload section, adding a second key part to the first key part and iterating the value and binding the key control information section to the payload section after the second key part has been added. Creating the secure key further includes indicating the key is complete, wherein the key comprises a combination of the first and second key parts.
摘要:
A computer program product is provided and includes a tangible storage medium readable by a processing circuit and on which instructions are stored for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method. The method includes checking whether information to be translated between a key token and a key block is valid and, in an event a result of the checking is affirmative, preparing an output by translating the information between the key token and the key block such that the key token and the key block each include key control information cryptographically bound to key material via a wrapping method of the key token and the key block, respectively. The key control information of the key block is related to the key control information of the key token following the translation and disambiguation information for guiding the translation specified prior to or during the translation.
