#Key Management

Key management is the practice of proliferating countless cryptographic keys under the noble pretext of access control, ultimately creating a labyrinth no one can navigate. Even when minimal keys would suffice, administrators continue generating new keys in the name of "safety first." As the number of keys grows, responsibility diffuses, and key management becomes a bizarre ritual where keys are an end in themselves. Having supposedly mastered every key, you find none when needed, growing ever more dependent on the "master password." It is the altar upon which the myth of "the importance of key management" is endlessly proclaimed in the digital age.
