Banking - Key management (retail) - Part 4: Key management techniques using public key cryptosystems
This part of ISO 11568 specifies techniques for the use and protection of the cryptographic keys of public key cryptosystems, when used in a retail banking environment.
It is applicable to any organization which is responsible for implementing procedures for the protection of keys during the life cycle. The techniques described in this part of ISO 11568 enable compliance with the principles described in ISO 11568-1.
Public key cryptosystems embrace asymmetric ciphers, digital signature systems and public key distribution systems. Although this part of ISO 11568 describes techniques using these systems when specifically applied to key management, some of the techniques have equal applicability for the secure management of data.
The techniques are described for generic public key cryptosystems. Any required details which are specific to a particular system are described in an annex.
Algorithms approved for use with the techniques described in this part of ISO 11568 and the procedures for their approval are given in annex A.
Annex B provides a normative overview of public key certificate management.
Annex C provides a description of attribute certificates, a technique that enhances the functionality of public key certificates.
Annex D provides an introduction to the three types of public key cryptosystems indicated above.
