that can be imported into another SKM server. The public key contained
in the certificate will be used to wrap (encrypt) the encryption keys to

Importing Encryption Keys
Each SKM server provides a unique encryption key for each tape
cartridge that is encrypted. In order to read tapes encrypted by a
different (i.e., source) SKM server, you need to import the encryption
keys used to encrypt those tapes onto your SKM server.
You may also use this function to import a backup of your own SKM
server encryption keys in case of a catastrophic SKM server failure.
