ELI5 mode

Key management refers to the processes and procedures for generating, storing, distributing, using, and retiring cryptographic keys to protect sensitive data. It's a cornerstone of modern cybersecurity, ensuring that encrypted information remains secure against breaches while adapting to evolving threats like quantum computing. Without it, even the strongest encryption algorithms could be rendered useless by poor key handling.
