Cryptographic Initialization: The process of setting up a cryptographic system or component before it can be used securely. The process typically involves the generation and installation of cryptographic keys. Initialization ensures that the system has a secure starting state from which it can operate and often includes steps to ensure the secure generation, distribution, and storage of keys.
