Key Management System
Many smart card issuing systems need to manage a large number of diverse cryptographic keys for different applications. The process of tracking these keys, lifecycles, key types and procedures on various locations can be costly and difficult to control. Bell ID provides proven and secure means to manage the complexity within these issuing environments – irrespective of the form factor (e.g. smart card, NFC mobile phone or USB token).
Bell ID® Key Manager deals with the potentially complex process of generation, storage, distribution, import and lifecycle management of cryptographic keys. During the lifecycle of keys, the system registers all changes in the status of all keys under its control. Bell ID® Key Manager provides interfaces to all major HSM providers and is managed through an easy to use Graphical User Interface.
