11 Managing Key Management Systems
Based on the policies received from the ETPM, the Key Management Systems (ETKMSs) generate and
distribute the keys along with the policies to the Policy Enforcement Points (PEPs). You must use the
ETEMS Appliance Manager to add, edit, and delete ETKMSs.
This section includes the following topics:
● Adding ETKMSs
● Editing ETKMSs
● Deleting ETKMSs
To add a ETKMS to ETEMS, you need to know the IP address that was assigned to the management port
during the installation of the ETKMS. The management port is one of the Ethernet ports (normally GB1).
For information about ETKMS installation, refer to “Configuring ETKMSs” on page 43.

Depending on the size and configuration of the network, the EncrypTight system may use one or more
ETKMSs distributed throughout the network. EncrypTight also includes a local ETKMS that runs as a
separate application on the same management workstation as the EncrypTight software. Local ETKMSs
are intended for small to medium networks with no more than 10 nodes.
