Abstract
An information handling system includes a BMC configurable in a first mode to provide external encryption keys for transactions with a storage device from external key management services, and in a second mode to generate local encryption keys for the transactions. At a first time, the BMC is configured in the first mode to provide external encryption keys for the transactions from a first external key management service. At a second time subsequent to the first time, the BMC is configured in the second mode to generate local encryption keys for the transactions. At a third time subsequent to the second time, the BMC is configured in the first mode to provide second external encryption keys for the transactions from a second external key management service. After the third time, no user data is lost on the first storage device as compared with a time prior to the first time.
