  • Durability enforcement of cryptographic keys in a key management system
    Patent number: 12010229
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enforcing durability of second level encryption keys by a key management system (KMS) are provided. In embodiment, a method includes: receiving a first request to encrypt a first level key, the request including the first level key and a second level key identification associated with a stored encrypted second level key; determining that a durability check of the encrypted second level key is required based on the request; determining a durability status of the encrypted second level key by comparing actual storage of the encrypted second level key in one or more storage locations with predetermined storage rules for a durability level of the encrypted second level key, wherein the durability status indicates that the storage of the encrypted second level key complies with the durability level; and sending a notification regarding the durability status to the data storage service.
