Key Management Orchestrator Skill

Purpose

Orchestrate cryptographic key lifecycle management across key management systems, including key generation, distribution, rotation, destruction, and compliance monitoring.

Capabilities

Key Generation

  • Generate cryptographic keys with proper entropy
  • Create keys with appropriate algorithms and sizes
  • Generate keys within HSM boundaries
  • Create key pairs for asymmetric operations
  • Generate derived keys using approved KDFs
  • Document key generation metadata

Key Rotation Management

  • Define and enforce rotation policies
  • Schedule automatic key rotations
  • Execute zero-downtime rotations
  • Coordinate multi-system rotations
  • Maintain key version history
  • Handle rotation rollbacks

Key Usage Tracking

  • Monitor key usage patterns
  • Track encryption/decryption operations
  • Identify unused or orphaned keys
  • Detect anomalous usage patterns
  • Measure key usage against policies
  • Generate usage audit reports

Key Destruction

  • Execute secure key destruction
  • Verify destruction completeness
  • Document destruction certificates
  • Handle key material in backups
  • Manage crypto-shredding operations
  • Maintain destruction audit trails

HSM Integration

  • Interface with hardware security modules
  • Manage HSM key hierarchies
  • Handle HSM backup and recovery
  • Monitor HSM health and capacity
  • Coordinate multi-HSM deployments
  • Validate FIPS compliance

Key Operations Auditing

  • Log all key lifecycle events
  • Generate compliance audit reports
  • Track key custodian changes
  • Document key ceremonies
  • Monitor policy violations
  • Support forensic investigations

Key Types Managed

Key Type Use Case Rotation Period
Master Keys Key encryption keys Annual
Data Keys Data encryption Monthly
Signing Keys Code/document signing Annual
TLS Keys Transport security Annual
API Keys Service authentication 90 days
Session Keys Ephemeral encryption Per-session

Key Lifecycle Stages

  1. Generation: Secure key creation with proper entropy
  2. Distribution: Secure key transport to authorized systems
  3. Activation: Key enabled for cryptographic operations
  4. Use: Active cryptographic operations
  5. Rotation: Scheduled key replacement
  6. Deactivation: Key disabled but retained
  7. Destruction: Secure permanent deletion

Integrations

  • HashiCorp Vault: Secrets and key management
  • AWS KMS: Cloud key management service
  • Azure Key Vault: Microsoft key management
  • GCP Cloud KMS: Google key management
  • Thales Luna HSM: Hardware security modules
  • AWS CloudHSM: Cloud-based HSM

Target Processes

  • Cryptography and Key Management Process
  • Secrets Management
  • Certificate Lifecycle Management
  • Data Encryption Key Management
