Download keys from CipherTrust Manager

CDP allows you to download keys from CipherTrust Manager and use them in cryptographic operations. Cached keys are stored in the client's process memory only. Refer to Caching for details.

Steps

Enable the Symmetric_Key_Cache_Enabled parameter in the ProtectDB.properties file. You can set the either of the following values based on the protocol used to connect CDP and CipherTrust Manager:

a. Use yes – to enable caching if the protocol is ssl. The NAE XML protocol is used for exporting keys.

b. Use tcp_ok – to enable caching for both tcp and ssl connections. The NAE XML protocol is used for exporting keys.
