What is Key Management?

★ Key management is the management of cryptographic keys in a

cryptosystem.

★ This includes dealing with the generation, exchange, storage, use,

and replacement of keys.

★ It includes cryptographic protocol design, key servers, user procedures,

and other relevant protocols.

★ It deals with entire key lifecycle.

Why are we talking about key management?

 With the rise of Cybercrime, companies are investing significant amounts in

Information Security in order to protect themselves, their employees and partners,
but in the end that might not be enough.

 Threats:

○ compromise of confidentiality of secret keys

○ compromise of authenticity of secret or public keys.

○ unauthorized use of public or secret keys

Diffie Hellman key exchange algorithm

★ First public key algorithm proposed by Diffie and Hellman in 1976.

★ Used only for key exchange

★ Used In many commercial products

 Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange – ECC
scenario
• Alice and Bob two parties need to exchange secret key
1. Both Alice and Bob agree upon starting point P point on elliptic curve publicly defined y2 = x3 -
4x + 0.67
2. Alice selects his private ‘α’ and computes αP shares this with bob
3. Bob selects his private ‘β’ and computes βP shares with Alice
4. Alice receives βP and computes βPα by multiplying with his private
5. Bob receives αP and computes αPβ by multiplying with his private
6. It is obvious βPα = αPβ , hence both Alice and Bob have same key which serves as private key
for further encryption and decryption
