Cryptographic lifecycle: The stages that cryptographic key materials go through during their existence, including creation, distribution, usage, storage, archival, and destruction. Managing this lifecycle is critical to maintaining the integrity and security of a cryptographic system. Each stage presents unique security challenges and requires appropriate controls to prevent unauthorized access or compromise.
