PCI (Payment Card Industry Security Standard)

Protect stored cardholder data

Req 3.6.6

3.6.6 If manual clear-text cryptographic key-management operations are used these operations must be managed using split knowledge and dual control. Note: examples of manual key-management operations include but are not limited to: key generation transmission loading storage and destruction.

Split knowledge and dual control of keys are used to eliminate the possibility of one person having access to the whole key. This control is applicable for manual key-management operations or where key management is not implemented by the encryption product. Split knowledge is a method in which two or more people separately have key components where each person knows only their own key component and the individual key components convey no knowledge of the original cryptographic key. Dual control requires two or more people to perform a function and no single person can access or use the authentication materials of another.
