A method for implementing for automated validation and execution of cryptographic key and certificate deployment and distribution, the method comprising: providing one or more keys or automatically generating one or more keys on demand during deployment; providing one or more key deployment points; and distributing the one or more keys to the one or more key deployment points in an automated manner based on a pre-definable deployment pattern-based mapping of each of the one or more keys to be distributed to each of the one or more key deployment points, wherein a deployment pattern represents a deployment requirement of the distribution of the one or more keys to the one or more key deployment points and is independent of at least one of: the number of keys and key deployment points; wherein mapping of each of the one or more keys to be distributed to each of the one or more key deployment points comprises creating a matrix that indicates to which of the one or more key deployment points each of the one or more keys are to be mapped to, the method further comprising the steps of: creating a union of a desired and current deployment source; creating a union of a desired and current deployment destination; expanding desired and current deployment matrices according to the union, filling 0s in respective new entries; obtaining a delta matrix by subtracting the current expanded deployment matrix from the desired expanded matrix, the resulting delta matrix comprising a matrix of "1, 0,-1" values, which indicate "add, no change, delete" operations. providing one or more keys or automatically generating one or more keys on demand during deployment; providing one or more key deployment points; and distributing the one or more keys to the one or more key deployment points in an automated manner based on a pre-definable deployment pattern-based mapping of each of the one or more keys to be distributed to each of the one or more key deployment points, wherein a deployment pattern represents a deployment requirement of the distribution of the one or more keys to the one or more key deployment points and is independent of at least one of: the number of keys and key deployment points; wherein mapping of each of the one or more keys to be distributed to each of the one or more key deployment points comprises creating a matrix that indicates to which of the one or more key deployment points each of the one or more keys are to be mapped to, the method further comprising the steps of: creating a union of a desired and current deployment source; creating a union of a desired and current deployment destination; expanding desired and current deployment matrices according to the union, filling 0s in respective new entries; obtaining a delta matrix by subtracting the current expanded deployment matrix from the desired expanded matrix, the resulting delta matrix comprising a matrix of "1, 0,-1" values, which indicate "add, no change, delete" operations. creating a union of a desired and current deployment source; creating a union of a desired and current deployment destination; expanding desired and current deployment matrices according to the union, filling 0s in respective new entries; obtaining a delta matrix by subtracting the current expanded deployment matrix from the desired expanded matrix, the resulting delta matrix comprising a matrix of "1, 0,-1" values, which indicate "add, no change, delete" operations.
