and the User must login before the second "Write Key Split" can be performed. The two iKey
tokens used for carrying key parts are labeled with the word "CODE". The two key parts are
then physically carried by separate trusted individuals to another device. If this device is also
an HSM, the two parts may loaded into it using the "Read Key Split" command. Similarly, this
command must be issued twice, once for the Security Officer and once for the User. Separate
authentications are required for each "Read Key Split" command. After the second "Read Key
Split " command has been successfully completed the destination device will contain the same
Key-Wrapping-Key as the originating device. Once two or more devices that contain the same
Key-Wrapping-Key, they are said to be in the same family. Devices in the same family may
share other secrets. Secrets are moved between devices under the control of a Rainbow
Technologies key management utility. The key management utility runs on the host, and uses
"Wrap Key" and "Unwrap" commands to move wrapped keys between devices in the same
family.
