Generating Enterprise Manager Keyset

For safety’s sake, periodically generate a new pair of Enterprise Manager keys. Regular change of encryption keys raises the encryption security level.

Enterprise Manager keys are created in the inactive state. To make the keys active and use them for encryption and decryption, you need to activate the keys. For details, see Activating Enterprise Manager Keyset.
