Secure value key management is mainly used to secure the storage of customer related data such as credit card numbers, and other sensitive information.
AES and RSA encryption algorithms are used for this purpose. AES keys are used to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data. RSA keys are used to store the AES keys, and encrypt each AES key when it is generated and store it in the produce database.
A new interface is added to the Infogix Administrative Console to support secure value key management. You can generate new AES keys across all application servers (single or cluster environment), and re-key the generated AES keys.
Select Invalidate Session Keys to send a command from your application server to all the application servers in the environment to generate a new AES key, encrypt the key, store the key in the database, and set the new key as the current encryption key.
You can also specify the alias for the key encrypting key. If a key with this alias does not exist, it will be automatically created.
