Abstract

Systems and methodologies that facilitate delegation of keyset management to a platform presenting a centralized health-related data repository are provided. Effectively, a central keyset manager is provided that generates, manages and distributes key material to client applications and servers deploying the platform. Thus, communications with the platform storing sensitive health-related data can be secured without incurring the costs associated with implementing and enforcing policies associated with key generation and expiration among a plurality of servers and client applications. Additionally, the innovation can scale keyset management to meet short term demand needs.
