1. A method for recovering a local key associated with a local application of a communication device, comprising:
receiving a recovery request from the communication device to recover a local key from a secure key storage of an applied key management system;
wherein the recovery request received comprises one or more of key attributes of the local key, an application identifier identifying the local application associated with the local key, a user identifier identifying a user authorized to use the local key, a device identifier identifying the communication device, or a time at which the local key is collected;
evaluating authorization of the recovery request based on one or more policies relating to at least one key attribute of the local key;
determining to recover the local key from the secure key storage in response to the local key being authorized by at least one or more policies, the one or more policies being based on at least one key attribute indicating one or more security and cryptographic considerations of the local key; and
cryptographic considerations of the local key and sending the local key to the communication device in response to determining to recover the local key.
