KeyM

AUTOSAR Key Manager — manages cryptographic keys and certificates for the Crypto Stack.

AUTOSAR KeyM stores key handles, certificate chains, and certificate-validation logic. It works alongside CSM/CryIf for crypto operations and exposes a service interface for runtime key updates and certificate verification (e.g. for OTA package validation).
