Claim:
1. A method for cryptographic suite management for determining a cryptographic implementation between at least a first correspondent and a second correspondent, each of the correspondents comprising one or more processors configured to execute the cryptographic implementation, comprising: a. configuring, using one or more processors of the first correspondent, the first correspondent linked to a first cryptographic suite management unit to transmit an import request to the second correspondent linked to a second cryptographic suite management unit, the request comprising the identification of a cryptographic implementation and security requirements for the cryptographic implementation for exportation by the second correspondent; b. configuring, using one or more processors of the second correspondent, a second cryptographic suite management unit to provide the cryptographic implementation configured using the security requirements; c. configuring, using one or more processors of the second correspondent, the second correspondent to export the configured cryptographic implementation to the first correspondent; and d. configuring, using one or more processors of the first correspondent, the first cryptographic suite management unit to securely import the configured cryptographic implementation for use by the first correspondent.
