Abstract
The traditional data retention attribute is used to intelligently select appropriate data encryption keys. Key life cycles are calibrated with data retention periods, such that encryption keys and the corresponding data are both available at the same time. A data management system passes a data retention period to a key management system as part of a request for a key. The key management system uses the received data retention period as a factor in selecting a key, such that the key life cycle is calibrated to the data retention period. The data management system then utilizes the key in encryption operations concerning corresponding data.
