Abstract
A distributed computing environment utilizes a cryptography service. The cryptography service manages keys securely on behalf of one or more entities. The service may utilize multiple security modules. A coordinator may coordinate the security modules to ensure that the security modules operate with consistent operational parameters. A security module may propose a set of parameters for acceptance by the coordinator. If accepted, the coordinator may update the security modules in accordance with the proposal.
