Key Management

Key management is the administrative side of cryptography, and is one of the biggest problems faced by any crypto system. It involves the generation, certification, distribution and revocation of keys - all of which must be done in a secure manner. It can be undertaken manually, by software, or by outsourcing to a third party such as a Certification Authority.
