Abstract
Methods and systems for validating key rotation requests for endpoint devices are disclosed. The key rotation requests may be signed by one or more signing systems according to a set of re-keying rules for the endpoint device. The set of the re-keying rules may indicate that key rotation requests may be valid if signed using at least two different keys. The set of the re-keying rules may also indicate that each of the at least the two different keys be from a different grouping of keys of multiple groupings of keys included in a secure key repository. Each grouping of keys may be associated with a different organization. Therefore, key rotation requests may be serviced if signatures associated with the key rotation requests meet the re-keying rules thereby decreasing a likelihood of compromise of the endpoint devices via compromise of a key.
