key management
The practice in cryptographic systems of managing the lifecycle of public and private keys, including generation, distribution, revocation, expiration, and recovery. It is a critical element of securing communications.

Common security risks of self-hosted AI agents include prompt injection, improper key management and missing auditing.
Environment variables should be used to manage secrets from day one, keeping secrets out of prompts and code.
Early PGP was not invulnerable in algorithm design and key management, and the security community later had a great deal of criticism, mostly focused on usability and key lifecycle management (revocation, expiration, recovery from loss, confirmation of public-key authenticity) rather than the encryption algorithms themselves.
