Title

Normal Operational Storage Function

Control

One objective of key management is to facilitate the operational availability of keying material for standard cryptographic purposes. Usually, a key remains operational until the end of the key’s cryptoperiod (i.e., the expiration date). During normal operational use, keying material is available either in the device or module (e.g., in RAM) or in an immediately accessible storage media (e.g., on a local hard disk).
