# Key Management Orchestrator Skill

## Purpose

Orchestrate cryptographic key lifecycle management across key management systems, including key generation, distribution, rotation, destruction, and compliance monitoring.

## Capabilities

### Key Generation
- Generate cryptographic keys with proper entropy
- Create keys with appropriate algorithms and sizes
- Generate keys within HSM boundaries
- Create key pairs for asymmetric operations
- Generate derived keys using approved KDFs
- Document key generation metadata

### Key Rotation Management
- Define and enforce rotation policies
- Schedule automatic key rotations
- Execute zero-downtime rotations
- Coordinate multi-system rotations
- Maintain key version history
- Handle rotation rollbacks

### Key Usage Tracking
- Monitor key usage patterns
- Track encryption/decryption operations
- Identify unused or orphaned keys
- Detect anomalous usage patterns
- Measure key usage against policies
- Generate usage audit reports

### Key Destruction
- Execute secure key destruction
- Verify destruction completeness
- Document destruction certificates
- Handle key material in backups
- Manage crypto-shredding operations
- Maintain destruction audit trails

### HSM Integration
- Interface with hardware security modules
- Manage HSM key hierarchies
- Handle HSM backup and recovery
- Monitor HSM health and capacity
- Coordinate multi-HSM deployments
- Validate FIPS compliance

### Key Operations Auditing
- Log all key lifecycle events
- Generate compliance audit reports
- Track key custodian changes
- Document key ceremonies
- Monitor policy violations
- Support forensic investigations

## Key Types Managed

| Key Type | Use Case | Rotation Period |
|----------|----------|-----------------|
| Master Keys | Key encryption keys | Annual |
| Data Keys | Data encryption | Monthly |
| Signing Keys | Code/document signing | Annual |
| TLS Keys | Transport security | Annual |
| API Keys | Service authentication | 90 days |
| Session Keys | Ephemeral encryption | Per-session |

## Key Lifecycle Stages

1. **Generation**: Secure key creation with proper entropy
2. **Distribution**: Secure key transport to authorized systems
3. **Activation**: Key enabled for cryptographic operations
4. **Use**: Active cryptographic operations
5. **Rotation**: Scheduled key replacement
6. **Deactivation**: Key disabled but retained
7. **Destruction**: Secure permanent deletion

## Integrations

- **HashiCorp Vault**: Secrets and key management
- **AWS KMS**: Cloud key management service
- **Azure Key Vault**: Microsoft key management
- **GCP Cloud KMS**: Google key management
- **Thales Luna HSM**: Hardware security modules
- **AWS CloudHSM**: Cloud-based HSM

## Target Processes

- Cryptography and Key Management Process
- Secrets Management
- Certificate Lifecycle Management
- Data Encryption Key Management
