Abstract
A method, system, and computer usable program product for protocol based key management are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A key management protocol associated with a key request is identified, the key request being a request for data usable in cryptographic security. A first subset is selected from a set of policies using the key management protocol. A set of permissions is computed based on the first subset of policies, the set of permissions indicating whether the key request is permitted under the key management protocol. The set of permissions is cached in a cache in a data storage device.
