Method for storing cipher key

Abstract

The method includes steps: setting up transformation algorithm for cipher key data in advance; generating original cipher key data by cipher key generator, random sequence generator generates several pieces of random numbers correlated to the original cipher key data at same time; carrying out transformation operation for original cipher key data and correlated several pieces of random numbers by using transformation algorithm for cipher key data setup before; storing up transformed cipher key data and each random number correlated to original cipher key data in storage media independent to each other. Comparing with prior art, the invention lowers complexity of cipher key storage step in cipher key management procedure, and raises security mechanism in storing cipher key.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of information security, in particular to a key storage method. Background technique [0002] Key management is a key link in the key security system, and the entire life cycle of the key management process includes: [0003] Key registration _ the network node obtains or creates initial key material through security measures, and becomes an authorized member of the security domain; [0004] Key creation _ the network node generates key material by itself or obtains key material from the trusted system components of the key management center, where the key material generally includes key data and corresponding algorithm information, etc.; [0005] Key storage _ the network node stores the obtained key material in its own hard disk, ROM device, chip card, hardware token and other related storage media; [0006] Key distribution _ the process in which the network node sends the obtained key data to other network nodes...
