1. An apparatus to perform contextual encryption key management, the apparatus comprising:
memory;
computer readable instructions; and
processor circuitry to execute the computer readable instructions to at least:
in response to a request to encrypt first input data, parse the first input data to determine a combination of two or more context values from the first input data;
determine that the combination of two or more context values was not detected in second input data that was encrypted previously;
in response to the combination of two or more context values not being detected in the second input data that was previously encrypted, map a key identifier to a combination of two or more context rules corresponding to the combination of two or more context values, and generate a key corresponding to the key identifier; and
encrypt the first input data based on the key to obtain encrypted data.
