Encryption keys are managed using key management facilities (KMFs) and key fill devices (KFDs). KMFs are secure devices that generate encryption keys, maintain secure databases of keys and securely transmit keys to KFDs.

Symmetric, or secret key encryption, uses a single key for both encryption and decryption. Symmetric key encryption is used for encrypting large amounts of data efficiently. 256-bit AES keys are symmetric keys. Asymmetric, or public/private encryption, uses a pair of keys.
