This article discusses how the security protection of payment card data used in a transaction can be maximized by integrating PCI DSS with EMV technology.

This article discusses methods of restoring secure systems, such as payment card processing, to normal cryptographic operation after an attack or adverse event is detected and recovering access to critical information.

This article discusses the importance and usage of documentation for a key management system within an organization.

This article discusses the procedures and techniques used in key management system hardening for servers and devices. 

This article discusses the necessary exchange of information between entities within a security domain and other entities outside of the security domain, including recommendations to regulate and secure this flow through the Domain Security Policy.

This article discusses the functions and use of hierarchical layers when establishing a cryptographic key management policy, and how the policy layers interact.

Cryptographic keys are used to secure data-at-rest and data-in-transit. Trying to keep them protected yet always available for use is one of the most difficult problems in practical cryptography. Improper key management can lead to key leakage, where an attacker obtains the key and recovers the sensitive messages from the encrypted data.

This article discusses the key management problems and Cryptomathic's approach to solving the challenges faced by large organizations that use cryptography for variety of applications.

During April 2015, PCI DSS v3.1 was released as the latest iteration for industry-wide requirements and guidelines for securing cardholder data. 

This blog post discusses the cryptographic key management techniques used in the banking industry to comply with PCI DSS.

Traditionally, end-to-end lifecycle key management was achieved through inefficient paper-based procedures and highly resource intensive tasks performed by 4 or 5 employees, but this inefficient process leads to human errors and is very time and resource consuming. Centralized cryptographic key management is the best solution to overcome such dependency on individuals.

This article discusses the advantages of using a centralized key management system.
