Abstract
In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a management controller configured to provide management-domain management of an information handling system may include a processor and a key management utility embodied in non-transitory computer-readable media. The key management utility may be configured to issue one or more commands to a cryptoprocessor for storing and sealing a key encryption key on the cryptoprocessor, wherein the key encryption key is for decrypting a media encryption key for encrypting and decrypting data stored to a storage resource of a host domain of the information handling system. The key management utility may also be configured to issue one or more commands to the cryptoprocessor for unsealing and retrieving the key encryption key from the cryptoprocessor.
