Abstract

Methods and systems for reducing the size of a cryptographic key in a test simulation environment are disclosed. In one example, a method includes determining a minimum key size value and maximum key size value for a private cryptographic key for each of a plurality of key exchange value pairs and deriving, for each of the plurality of key exchange value pairs, a key sizing constant based on the minimum key size value and the maximum key size value. The method further includes storing each of the plurality of selected key exchange value pairs and associated key sizing constant in a data store, selecting a key exchange value pair to be applied to a test simulation session conducted between a first test simulation endpoint and a second test simulation endpoint, and generating a private cryptographic key based on the key sizing constant associated with the selected key exchange value pair.
