I am researching Key Management Solutions in order to become PCI compliant. I have spoken to a number of vendors in the arena, and while I like their products, the cost is beyond my budget. Is anyone aware of any open source or low cost solutions for Key Management? I use a Windows/.NET environment, so I would prefer solutions that target that environment, however I would be interested in hearing about anything that is out there.
Thanks

There are two types of cryptographic keys, symmetric and asymmetric keys. Symmetric keys deal with data-at-rest, which is data stored in a static location, such as a database. Symmetric key encryption uses the same key for both encryption and decryption.
The centralized key management on the KMC ensures the highest level of security, limits related costs and eliminates the need for key management on production servers. The use of smart cards offers greater security and convenience for secure backup, recovery and transfer of cryptographic keys.
Take a look at KeyManager, which is the key management component of the OpenStack suite. The application can be used as a stand-alone key management solution outside of OpenStack.
Being a component of OpenStack, KeyManager is being actively developed with new features planned on six month cycles.
