Abstract
A novel approach is proposed for centralized administration of a multikey for a plurality of clients at a set of remote office/branch offices (ROBOs). A multikey having a set of properties, permissions, and policies is first associated with a secure item present at one or more of the ROBOs. A set of respective instances of the multikey are then generated for the ROBOs having the secure item, and the set of properties, permissions, and policies are associated with each of the respective instances of the multikey automatically. The instances of the multikey are then provided to the set of ROBOs for the encryption or decryption of the secure item present at the ROBOs.
