Abstract
A method for cryptographic material management is provided. The method includes receiving into a computing device, through an API of the computing device, a designation of which of a plurality of key-producing cloud services sources each of a plurality of keys and which of a plurality of key-consuming cloud service providers uses each of the plurality of keys for encrypting or decrypting data. The method includes directing, from the computing device through a first plurality of end modules each interfaced to a specific API of a specific one of the plurality of key-producing cloud services, production of one or more of the plurality of keys. The method includes directing, from the computing device through a second plurality of end modules each interfaced to a specific API of a specific one of the plurality of key-consuming cloud service providers usage of one or more of the plurality of keys.
