Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for managing access to encrypted data and encryption keys. The system stores, by a key management server, a first encryption key associated with a first service and a second encryption key associated with a second service. The system prevents, by the key management server, the second service from accessing the second encryption key while the first service is performing a first function using the first encryption key and determines that a first threshold period of time associated with the first function has elapsed. The system, in response to determining that the first threshold period of time associated with the first function has elapsed, prevents, by the key management server, the first service from accessing the first encryption key while the second service is performing a second function using the second encryption key.
