Key Management Infrastructure Manipulation

Description

Key infrastructures provide the technical means for managing the key life cycles as well as for the distribution of keys using security protocols or other means. If an attacker manipulates them, he can gain and maintain an authorized access to the protected resource. Encryption keys used to encrypt TM/TC can be replaced in order to gain permanent access to other functionalities, or to temporarily interrupt the owner's control.
