The embedded key manager provides and generates multiple keys internally, although the system uses only one key at a time to encrypt data coming into the system.
The embedded key manager rotates keys, supports a maximum of 254 keys, and allows you to specify how long a key will be in effect before it is replaced. The key rotation of the embedded key manager is managed on the protection system.
