Muchas gracias, senor.


IMHO you should really not do any key crypto in the DMZ (key
generation, storage, validation, rotation etc). By its nature it's a
semi-trusted zone (de-militarized / bastions).

The one exception is SSL / TLS where the aim should be to offload it
where the transport terminates i.e. in the dmz.

Absolutely agreed.
