Abstract
The present invention relates to a computer implemented method, software product and computer system for managing a cryptographic service. The computer implemented method comprises: establishing a pool of encryption materials; periodically updating the pool of encryption materials; and responsive to an encryption request from an encrypting application: selecting encryption materials from the pool; encrypting payload data included in the encryption request using the selected encryption materials; and returning encrypted payload data to the encrypting application.
