A key-management scheme based on control vectors
Stephen M. Matyas, A. V. Le, Denis Abraham · IBM Systems Journal · 1991
This paper presents a cryptographic key-management scheme based on control vectors. This is a new concept that permits cryptographic keys belonging to a cryptographic system to be easily, securely, and efficiently controlled. The new key-management scheme—built on the cryptographic architecture and key management implemented in a prior set of IBM cryptographic products—has been implemented in the newly announced IBM Transaction Security System.
