Abstract
A method and system for key management. The method includes receiving, by a control domain on a server, a request for a tenant key, and obtaining an authorization secret from a management service, where the management service is external to the server. The method further includes, in response to the request, decrypting, after obtaining the authorization secret, an encrypted platform master key to obtain a platform master key, decrypting an encrypted tenant key to obtain the tenant key using the platform master key, and providing the tenant key to an entity that issued the request.
