Abstract
The disclosure provides an approach for certificate management for cryptographic agility. Embodiments include receiving, by a cryptographic agility system, a cryptographic request related to an application. Embodiments include selecting, by the cryptographic agility system, a cryptographic technique based on contextual information associated with the cryptographic request. Embodiments include determining, by the cryptographic agility system, based on the cryptographic request, a certificate for authenticating a key related to the cryptographic technique. Embodiments include providing, by the cryptographic agility system, the certificate to an endpoint related to the cryptographic request for use in authenticating the key.
