Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments for providing access to a recovery key of a managed device and rotating the recovery key after it has been accessed. In one example, among others, a system includes a computing device and program instructions. The program instructions can cause the computing device to store a first recovery key for a first managed computing device. The first recovery key is configured to access an encrypted data store of the first managed computing device. A request is received for the first recovery key from a second managed computing device. The first recovery key is transmitted for display on the second managed computing device. A key rotation command is generated for a command queue of the first managed computing device to rotate the first recovery key after transmitting the first recovery key. The second recovery key is received from the second computing device.
