SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CRYPTOGRAPHIC SUITE MANAGEMENT

摘要

Systems and methods for cryptographic suite management are described. A system for cryptographic suite management has a cryptographic suite management unit comprising a series of APIs enabling diverse applications to call cryptographic functions. The system enables: multiple applications on an interface to access shared cryptographic resources; applications across multiple devices to share and license cryptographic resources between devices; encryption, decryption and sharing of data between devices having different cryptographic implementations; the definition, distribution and enforcement of policies governing the terms of use for cryptographic implementations, systems and methods to secure and protect shared and dynamically loaded cryptographic providers; use by an application of multiple cryptographic resources and the management of cryptographic provider bundles and associated policies across one or many cryptographic suite management unit instances.

1. A system for cryptographic suite management, comprising a second correspondent linked to a second cryptographic suite management unit configured to communicate with a first correspondent linked to a first cryptographic suite management unit, wherein upon the first correspondent transmitting an import request to the second correspondent, the request comprising the identification of a cryptographic implementation and security requirements for the cryptographic implementation for exportation by the second correspondent, the second cryptographic suite management unit is configured to provide the cryptographic implementation configured using the security requirements and export the configured cryptographic implementation to the first correspondent to enable to the first cryptographic suite management unit to securely import the configured cryptographic implementation for use by the first correspondent.
