What is the primary purpose of key management in network security?
To define and enforce network security rules and policies
To securely manage the full lifecycle of cryptographic keys
To audit and ensure compliance with security policies
To authenticate users and devices accessing the network
The primary purpose of key management in network security is to handle cryptographic keys in a secure manner. This involves the generation, distribution, storage, rotation, and destruction of keys, ensuring they remain protected throughout their lifecycle. Secure key management helps prevent unauthorized access and maintains the integrity of encrypted data. The incorrect answers address auditing (reviewing compliance), authentication (verifying identities), and defining security rules-all important tasks but different from managing cryptographic keys.
