Abstract: An electronic device for management of cryptographic keys, and a corresponding method implemented in a computing device comprising a physical processor, transmit feature data of the device to a key generation module, wherein the feature data comprises information corresponding to an identifier or an attribute of the device, and receive, by the device from the key generation module, a digital signature of the transmitted feature data. The device installs the received digital signature as a cryptographic private key for communication, and performs a cryptographic operation using the installed digital signature as the cryptographic private key.
