NIST IR 7298 Revision 1, Glossary of Key Information Security Terms Key Distribution Center (KDC) – COMSEC facility generating and distributing key in electronic form. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Key Escrow – A deposit of the private key of a subscriber and other pertinent information pursuant to an escrow agreement or similar contract binding upon the subscriber, the terms of which require one or more agents to hold the subscriber's private key for the benefit of the subscriber, an employer, or other party, upon provisions set forth in the agreement. SOURCE: SP 800-32 Key Escrow – The processes of managing (e.g., generating, storing, transferring, auditing) the two components of a cryptographic key by two key component holders. SOURCE: FIPS 185 1. The processes of managing (e.g., generating, storing, transferring, auditing) the two components of a cryptographic key by two key component holders. 2. A key recovery technique for storing knowledge of a cryptographic key, or parts thereof, in the custody of one or more third parties called "escrow agents," so that the key can be recovered and used in specified circumstances. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Key Escrow System – A system that entrusts the two components comprising a cryptographic key (e.g., a device unique key) to two key component holders (also called "escrow agents"). SOURCE: FIPS 185; CNSSI-4009 Key Establishment – The process by which cryptographic keys are securely established among cryptographic modules using manual transport methods (e.g., key loaders), automated methods (e.g., key transport and/or key agreement protocols), or a combination of automated and manual methods (consists of key transport plus key agreement). SOURCE: FIPS 140-2 The process by which cryptographic keys are securely established among cryptographic modules using key transport and/or key agreement procedures. See key distribution. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Key Exchange – The process of exchanging public keys in order to establish secure communications. SOURCE: SP 800-32 Pg 106
NIST IR 7298 Revision 1, Glossary of Key Information Security Terms Process of exchanging public keys (and other information) in order to establish secure communications. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Key Expansion – Routine used to generate a series of Round Keys from the Cipher Key. SOURCE: FIPS 197 Key Generation Material – Random numbers, pseudo-random numbers, and cryptographic parameters used in generating cryptographic keys. SOURCE: SP 800-32; CNSSI-4009 Key List – Printed series of key settings for a specific cryptonet. Key lists may be produced in list, pad, or printed tape format. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Key Loader – A self-contained unit that is capable of storing at least one plaintext or encrypted cryptographic key or key component that can be transferred, upon request, into a cryptographic module. SOURCE: FIPS 140-2 A self-contained unit that is capable of storing at least one plaintext or encrypted cryptographic key or a component of a key that can be transferred, upon request, into a cryptographic module. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Key Logger – A program designed to record which keys are pressed on a computer keyboard used to obtain passwords or encryption keys and thus bypass other security measures. SOURCE: SP 800-82 Key Management – The activities involving the handling of cryptographic keys and other related security parameters (e.g., IVs and passwords) during the entire life cycle of the keys, including their generation, storage, establishment, entry and output, and zeroization. SOURCE: FIPS 140-2; CNSSI-4009 Key Management Device – A unit that provides for secure electronic distribution of encryption keys to authorized users. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Pg 107
