Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to a system for responding to transient errors temporarily preventing a computing platform hosting data from communicating with an external key manager hosting keys used to encrypt the platform data. The encryption key can be controlled external to the system in an external key manager (EKM). If an error occurs in which the system and the EKM are temporarily not in communication, the external key controlled by the EKM is temporarily not available. The system begins an observation period, during which the observation period the system polls the EKM to check if the external key continues to be unavailable. The system unloads the encrypted data if, after the expiration of the observation period, the EKM is still not available. If the EKM and the external key becomes accessible again during the observation period, the system cancels the observation period and resumes normal operation.
