Remote key management services: The processes and protocols used to manage cryptographic keys in a remote or distributed environment. These services maintain the lifecycle of the cryptographic keys used for encryption and decryption processes, including their generation, storage, distribution, rotation, and retirement. These services help ensure the keys are securely stored and only accessible to authorized entities, thus safeguarding sensitive encrypted data.
