Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims benefit of U.S. non-Provisional Application Ser. No. 10 / 037,153 filed Dec. 21, 2001 entitled “Method and System for Initializing a Key Management System”, in the names of Chui-Shan Teresa Lam and Jameel ur Rahman Syed.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION [0002] Connection of company networks to the Internet has resulted in a requirement for increased network security. This has resulted in some software systems, i.e., Financial Software Systems, requiring security information as part of their operation. Security information includes such information as encryption / decryption keys for encrypted databases, administrator passwords to access external resources such as a directory server, etc. Security information is typically stored in a configuration file that is accessible by the software systems. [0003] While security information is used to ensure the security of particular software systems and the data they use, security inform...
