Encryption deployment discovery

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing processor-readable instructions such that, when executed, cause a processor to perform a method for discovering key information, the method comprising:

• interrogating at least one segment for key information associated with encryption keys corresponding to each ones of encryption assets of the at least one segment;
• receiving output data including the key information associated with the encryption keys from the at least one segment in a network mapping format as a result of the interrogating;
• extracting the key information associated with the encryption keys from the output data;
• storing the key information;
• and
• performing a key management activity based on the stored key information;
• wherein the key information comprises at least one of:
• a device identifier, device location, key type, key origin, key length, or key strength;
• and
• wherein the network mapping format is a Network Mapper (NMAP) format, and the key information associated with the encryption keys is extracted within a data layer of the output data in the NMAP format.

A server for discovering key information, the server comprising:

• a database;
• a processor;
• and
• memory coupled to the processor and storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• interrogate at least one segment for key information associated with encryption keys corresponding to each ones of encryption assets of the at least one segment;
• receive output data including the key information from the at least one segment in a network mapping format as a result of the interrogation;
• extract the key information associated with the encryption keys from the output data;
• store the key information;
• and
• perform a key management activity based on the stored key information;
• wherein the key information comprises at least one of:
• a device identifier, device location, key type, key origin, key length, or key strength;
• and
• wherein the network mapping format is a Network Mapper (NMAP) format, and the key information associated with the encryption keys is extracted within a data layer of the output data in the NMAP format.

A method for discovery and managing key information corresponding to keys used in encryption assets of at least one segment, comprising:

• obtaining output data including the key information associated with the keys corresponding to each ones of the encryption assets of the at least one segment in a network mapping format, the output data including the key information being obtained using Network Mapper (NMAP);
• extracting the key information associated with the keys within a data layer of the output data in the network mapping format, the key information comprising at least one of:
• a device identifier, device location, key type, key origin, key length, or key strength;
• storing the key information;
• and
• performing a key management activity based on the stored key information, the key management activity including at least one of:
• generating at least one encryption report based on the key information;
• exporting the key information;
• or
• orchestrating the keys based on the key information;
• wherein obtaining the output data including the key information comprises interrogating the at least one segment for the key information associated with the keys;
• and receiving the output data including the key information associated with the keys from the at least one segment in the network mapping format as a result of the interrogating.
