- APPLICABILITY: All use cases where the product implements encryption mechanisms either for data storage or external communications.
- NOTE: If the product is intended for a specific environment with a defined set of agreed cryptographic mechanisms, the product has to be able to be used in accordance with those cryptographic requirements.
- REFERENCE: REQ-PKI-CON-09
- REQUIREMENT: The product shall be able to establish and maintain a secure and link with the SCD or KMS, and that the SCD or KMS interfaces are properly called.
- RATIONALE: To ensure the secure key managment, the proper and secure use of exteranl SCD or KMS is required.

- REQUIREMENT: If the product exports private or symmetric keys it shall use state of the art techniques for guaranteeing its confidentiality as defined in Annex K.
- RATIONALE: A secret key should not be compromised if its exported form is intercepted.
- EXAMPLES: The exported private or symmetric key can be encrypted such that only its designated recipient can decrypt it.
- APPLICABILITY: All use cases
- REFERENCE: REQ-PKI-CON-11
- REQUIREMENT: Secret keys shall not be stored persistently in plaintext form. They shall be stored within a secure cryptographic device or encrypted using approved algorithms as defined in Annex K using independently managed keys. They may only be accessed in plaintext form temporarily for a single operation or batch of operations.
- RATIONALE: To ensure trust the product must rely on secure and valid key creation and management systems accessible only to authorised users provided by hardware security devices.
