Application: Distributed key management system (Patent ID: US20240113866A1)
The patent filed by Cloudflare Inc. describes a distributed key management system (KMS) that includes a central KMS server and multiple intermediate KMS servers. The central KMS server replicates managed keys to the intermediate KMS servers, which can service KMS client requests. If an intermediate KMS server does not have access to a necessary managed key, it requests it from the central KMS server, performs the action requested, and returns the response to the KMS client. The system allows for efficient key management and servicing of client requests across geographically distributed servers.
The method and system outlined in the patent claims involve receiving managed keys from the central KMS server, servicing KMS client requests, and enforcing policies associated with managed keys. The system allows for the performance of actions requested in KMS service requests without the need for constant communication with the central KMS server, enhancing efficiency. Additionally, the system ensures that the appropriate managed keys are accessed and actions are performed based on associated policies. Overall, the patent describes a robust and scalable distributed key management system that optimizes key access and action performance for KMS clients.
