Abstract
A key management tool comprises a memory, an interface, a compatibility engine, a validation engine, a distribution engine, and a verification engine. The compatibility engine is configured to determine that the first device is compatible with the key management tool, the validation engine is configured to validate the first device, and the distribution engine is configured to communicate a first temporary key to the first device. The verification engine is configured to perform a first set of one or more checks on the first device after the first temporary key is communicated to the first device, the distribution engine is further configured to communicate a first permanent key to the first device if the first device passes the first set of one or more checks, and, subsequent to the communication of the first permanent key, the interface is configured to receive a request for a second permanent key.
