Encryption Certificates

Each Q-EKM server pair uses one unique encryption certificate. The

encryption certificate contains the public key of the public/private key

pair that protects data encryption keys during transit to another site. The

destination Q-EKM server provides its public key to the source Q-EKM

server as part of its public certificate, which the source Q-EKM server

uses to wrap (encrypt) exported data encryption keys for transport. Upon

arrival, the file containing the wrapped data encryption keys can only be

unwrapped by the corresponding private key, which resides on the

destination Q-EKM server and is never shared.
