Abstract
Hybrid encryption of imported key material is provided. A request to import key material is received from a user system. In response to the request, two public keys are sent to the user system. The two public keys include a classical cryptography (CC) public key and a quantum-safe cryptography (QSC) public key. At least one public key of the two public keys is retrieved from a hardware security module (HSM). Hybrid-encrypted key material is received from the user system. The hybrid-encrypted key material is key material that has been encrypted using the two public keys. The key material, at least partially encrypted by the at least one public key, is sent to the HSM.
