Remote rekeying: The practice of updating cryptographic keys on a remote device or system. It is used in secure network environments where encryption is utilized to maintain the security of the encrypted data. Remote rekeying is performed periodically or under specific circumstances, such as when a key is compromised, to ensure the continued security and integrity of the encrypted data.
