After you create an asymmetric KeyID, you can change the description in the Cryptographic Security Platform Vault for VM Encryption webGUI . You can also change the expiration date and what happens when the asymmetric KeyID expires.

  1. Log into the Cryptographic Security Platform Vault for VM Encryption using an account with Cloud Admin privileges.
  2. In the top menu bar, click Workloads.
  3. On the VM Sets tab, select the Cloud VM Set to which the asymmetric KeyID belongs.
  4. In the Details area below the list of Cloud VM Sets, click the Asymmetric KeyIDs tab.

    The Asymmetric KeyIDs tab displays the name, description, expiration date, action open expiration, and the status of the asymmetric KeyID.

  5. Select the asymmetric KeyID you want to change from the list.

  6. In the Details area below the asymmetric KeyID list, you can change the following information: 

    Field

    Description

    Description

    A description for the asymmetric KeyID.

    Expiration Date

    The date on which this asymmetric KeyID expires.

    On Expiration

    What happens when the asymmetric KeyID expires. You can select:

    • No Use—The key is deactivated but retained. It can then be reactivated by setting a future date in the Expiration Date field. This is the default.
    • Shred—The key is destroyed and cannot be retrieved. You should only use this option if you are absolutely certain that you will never need to decrypt files with the selected KeyID again.
