Obtaining quorum approval to perform an operation with a cryptographic item of a key management system
摘要
說明書
The processing logic may determine whether a number of the received indications of approval to perform the requested operation on the cryptographic item satisfies a threshold number (block 240). As previously discussed, the quorum policy of a group may specify a threshold number of approvals required to perform the operation on the cryptographic item. For example, the quorum policy may specify that two entities of the group approve the operation before the operation is performed. If two entities of the group have approved the requested operation, then the threshold number of received indications of approval is satisfied. If less than two entities of the group have approved the requested operation, then the threshold number of received indications of approval is not satisfied. If the threshold number of received indications of approval is not satisfied, then the requested operation may not be performed on the cryptographic item.
