US Patent 10187375 Cryptographic services engine

A cryptographic services management engine may provide a single point of interaction for both users and administrators to manage and consume cryptographic services. Such an engine may allow centralized control over cryptography parameters, ensuring enterprise security standards are maintained while abstracting the complexity and potential for error away from users. Automating cryptographic maintenance tasks may avoid outages caused by expired or incorrect certificates, and improve reliability and predictability of critical infrastructure services.
