Work with Key Officers (WRKKEYOFR)

Key Officers are those users that are authorized to create and manage Master Encryption Keys (MEKs), Key Stores, Data Encryption Keys (DEKs) and the Field Encryption Registry. 

The WRKKEYOFR command allows an organization to work with the key officers within the Symmetric Key environment.

The Key Officers and their authority settings are stored in the CRYPTO library by default. These settings are encrypted with the Product Encryption Key (PEK).
