Smyshlyaev}, title = {{Re-keying Mechanisms for Symmetric Keys}}, pagetotal = 69, year = 2019, month = aug, abstract = {A certain maximum amount of data can be safely encrypted when encryption is performed under a single key. This amount is called the "key lifetime". This specification describes a variety of methods for increasing the lifetime of symmetric keys. It provides two types of re-keying mechanisms based on hash functions and block ciphers that can be used with modes of operations such as CTR, GCM, CBC, CFB, and OMAC.
