Description

Component

The algorithm might be any of the following:

AES-256

AES-192

AES-128

DES-EDE-168 (three key triple DES)

DES-EDE-112 (two key triple DES)

DES

RC4-128

RC4-40

HmacSHA1

RSA-2048

RSA-1024

RSA-512

NOTE:

Some of the algorithms listed above will not be available on FIPS-compliant
devices.

Algorithm

A check mark in the box indicates that the key is deletable via an XML request. If a
key is marked deletable, only the owner can delete it. Global keys marked deletable
can be deleted by any user.

Deletable

Indicates if this is a versioned key.

Versioned Key

Displays a timestamp.

Creation Date

An exportable key can be exported by its owner and by members of a group with
“Export” permission for the key. Global keys marked exportable can be exported by
any user.

Exportable

Click Delete to delete a key.

CAUTION:

Exercise extreme caution when deleting keys. If you erroneously delete a key,
you cannot recreate that key. As a result, unless you have a backup of that key,
you will not be able to decrypt any ciphertext created by that key.

Delete

Click Properties to view the properties of a key.

Key Properties

The Key Properties section allows you to view the properties and group permissions of a key. You
can only edit the following fields in this section: Key Name, Owner Username, Deletable, and
Exportable. The Audit Log will capture any changes to these fields. If you change the Key Name or
Owner, you will have to update your applications accordingly. Changing the Key Name does not
create an additional key. Instead it gives a new name to the existing metadata and key bytes. To
create a copy of an existing key, use Clone Key.
