Abstract
A mechanism to share cryptographic material across entities that may not have a direct trust relationship between or among each other, or no network connectivity, or some combination thereof, but where participating entities do share a trust relationship (or trusted connection(s)) with a common entity, sometimes referred to herein as a “conduit” entity. This technique enables such entities to leverage their trust relationship with a common “conduit” entity to share cryptographic material between or among themselves.
