  Shell Key Preserve Management Plan
The preserve is managed by the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners through the Pinellas County Department of Environmental Management, Division of Environmental Lands.
Also key to the success of this plan is the involvement of local volunteers, such as the St. Petersburg and National Audubon Societies which have been involved with the protection of birds on Shell Key since 1992.
Management emphasis is placed on enhancement of the natural ecosystems within the Shell Key Preserve, however, it also recognizes public uses which are consistent with the management plan.

 Key Management : A Cryptography Tutorial
In an asymmetric cryptosystem, the key used for decryption is different from the key used for encryption.
The encryption key is known as the public key and the decryption key is known as the private key.
A common way of doing this is to split the key into several parts (components) and entrust the parts to a number of key management personnel.

 IPv6 Key Management
This permits clear decoupling of the key management mechanism from the other security mechanisms, so it is possible to replace key management method with another one and without having to modify the implementations of the other security mechanisms [8].
An example of key transport is the use of the RSA algorithm [25], to encrypt a randomly generated session key with the other party's public key.
An example of key generation is the use of the Diffie-Hellman Algorithm (DH) [25], that generates a session key based on public and secret information held by both users.

If you leave the key manager open and you perform manual actions using a different key manager, the commandline or just view some signed emails that cause keys to be retrieved from a keyserver (if configured so), you will not see them in the key manager until you refresh the cache.
You should only sign keys as exportable if you have carefully checked that the owner is really who they say they are and can prove key ownership, and that you intend to send the key to the owner once you have signed it.
The value of trust you apply to a key affects the web of trust as it relates to your key and influences the implied trust that other peoples keys that you have not validated might gain, based upon the value of the trust from the person who's key you have set the trust value on.

 Group Key Management
A simple group key management protocol was implemented as part of the development of secure PVM (tech report, 240KB).
The purpose of placing host-members in areas is to achieve flexible and efficient key management, particularly in the face of the problem of changes (joining, leaving, ejections) in the membership of a multicast group.
It focuses on two main areas of concern with respect to key management, which are, initializing the multicast group with a common net key and rekeying the multicast group.

 key tracking and security management systems for businesses
key control systems very simply ensure all keys are stored in exactly the correct place, giving fast access to all authorised users.
The keys will always be returned and available for use immediately, but until then you will know at-a-glance exactly who has them and why.
This also ensures that the keys are returned to the same position after use, so that the user can retrieve their personal peg.

 Key management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In cryptography, key management includes all of the provisions made in a cryptosystem design, in cryptographic protocols in that design, in user procedures, and so on, which are related to generation, exchange, storage, safeguarding, use, vetting, and replacement of keys.
There is a distinction between key management, which concerns keys at the users' level (i.e., passed between systems or users or both), and key scheduling which is usually taken to apply to the handling of key material within the operation of a cipher.
Appropriate and successful key management is critical to the secure use of every crypto system without exception.

 Cover Pages: XML Key Management Specification (XKMS)
Separating key agreement from operations allows cryptographic operations to be performed in a high security physical environment dedicated to cryptographic operations, thus eliminating the need for access by processing operations staff.
Public key crypto needs a supporting infrastructure, PKI, to handle distribution and certification of keys, etc. PKI has historically been very expensive and unwieldy, and XKMS seems to be the last best chance to get a reasonable infrastructure so that we can sign and encrypt our web service messages.
The primary objective is to allow a user of a public key -- when used to verify a digital signature or encrypt data -- to locate the required key and to associate naming or attribute information with the holder of the corresponding private key.

 Common threads: OpenSSH key management, Part 2
If you only open a single terminal or console on your system, this is no big deal, but most of us open quite a few terminals and need to type in our passphrase every single time we open a new console.
You'll recall that in Part 1, I explained that using unencrypted private keys is a dangerous practice, because it allows someone to steal your private key and use it to log in to your remote accounts from any other system without supplying a password.
Now that the OpenSSH key management series is complete, you should be very familiar with RSA and DSA keys and know how to use them in a convenient yet secure way.

 Gentoo Linux Documentation -- OpenSSH key management, Part 1
Of course, the ssh developers are aware of the private keys' importance, and have built a few safeguards into ssh and ssh-keygen so that our private key is not abused.
RSA authentication is the original form of ssh key authentication, so RSA should work with any version of OpenSSH, although I recommend that you install the most recent version available, which was openssh-2.9_p2 at the time this article was written.
While RSA keys are used by version 1 of the ssh protocol, DSA keys are used for protocol level 2, an updated version of the ssh protocol.

Even though extracting the keys would be somewhat difficult, it is within the skill of professional crackers.
And the mere fact that private key theft is possible means that we should take steps to guard against it happening in the first place.
To guard your private keys against extraction, ssh-agent (and thus keychain) should never be run on an untrusted host.
