1. A method for cryptographic suite management, comprising a. configuring a first correspondent linked to a first cryptographic suite management unit to transmit an import request to a 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 a second cryptographic suite management unit to provide the cryptographic implementation configured using the security requirements; c. configuring the second correspondent to export the configured cryptographic implementation to the first correspondent; and d. configuring the first cryptographic suite management unit to securely import the configured cryptographic implementation for use by the first correspondent.
