How EKMF Web works with zkey

On EKMF Web, templates for zkey keys must be prepared and then registered with zkey.

Cryptographic keys are the most important objects in a key management system. Apart from being the managed objects, keys are also used to establish a secure communication channel between the secure key repository and the EKMF Web server.

To use different key types for different purposes, these key types must be declared as key templates on the EKMF Web server.

On zkey, you must bind the zkey instance to EKMF Web.

These concepts are illustrated in Figure 1.
