Abstract

A common interface for managing cryptographic keys is provided. A request to manage a cryptographic key may be received in a first interface format, translated to a common interface format, and then executed remotely from the first interface. Return arguments may then be translated from the common interface format to a format compatible with the first interface and communicated securely to the first interface. The cryptographic keys may be used in connection with a secure data parser that secures data by randomly distributing data within a data set into two or more shares.
