CONFIGURING CRYPTOGRAPHIC SYSTEMS

摘要

Systems and methods for configuring a cryptographic system, such as an avionic data transfer system associated with an aircraft, are provided. More particularly, systems and methods can be used to assemble a cryptographic key configuration (CKC) for use in a cryptographic system. A CKC can include various components for configuration of a cryptographic system. An administrator can generate CKCs for multiple host systems via a user interface (e.g., a graphical user interface) at a terminal and can deliver the CKCs to the host systems via an automated process by way of, for instance, a removable data cartridge.

1. A method for configuring a cryptographic system associated with an aircraft, comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, data indicative of a user specifying a cryptographic key configuration action; accessing, by the one or more processors, one or more databases storing cryptographic information; generating, by the one or more processors, a cryptographic key configuration based at least in part on the cryptographic information and the cryptographic key configuration action; and transferring, by the one or more processors, the cryptographic key configuration for storage on a removable data storage device.
