About Cache Management

You can cache your keys in the Cryptographic Security Platform Vault for Cryptographic APIs memory to improve performance.

The Cryptographic Security Platform Vault for Cryptographic APIs creates cache tables with the following columns: 

• Cache Type—This can be one of the following operation types: 

  • Tokenization

  • Encryption

  • Signing

  • Wrapping

• Eviction Time (mins)—The length of time in minutes before the elements in the cache will be deleted after their last usage. The default is 30 minutes.

• Size—The number of elements that will remain in the cache. The default is 250 elements.

Caching is enabled by default, and each cache can be configured individually.
