TECHNICAL FIELD

Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to key management, and more specifically, relate to encrypted data key management.

BACKGROUND

Data may be securely stored by encrypting the data at a storage resource. An application may later utilize or operate upon the data that has been stored at the storage resource. For example, the application may retrieve a cryptographic key that may be used to decrypt the encrypted data. After performing the decryption operation with the retrieved cryptographic key, the data may then be utilized and operated upon by the application. Subsequently, when the application no longer operates on the data, the data may be encrypted again and stored at the storage resource.
