Alternative Method to Get an Instance of a Key Object

To get an instance of an AES key:

1. Create an NaeKeyManagement object.

   NaeKeyManagement nkm = new NaeKeyManagement(session);

   Copy

2. Call the GetKey method of this object and pass the key name as an argument.

   NaeRijndaelKey key = (NaeRijndaelKey)nkm.GetKey(keyName);

   Copy

   The operation will fail and throw an exception, if:

   • The keyName passed does not match an actual key on the CipherTrust Manager server.

   • Key name matches but the type of the key is different on the CipherTrust Manager server.

   Similarly, you can get an instance for DESede, RSA, EC, and HMAC keys.
