  • DMultifactor authentication

Explanation

Key management involves the creation, distribution, rotation, and revocation of credentials such as passwords, encryption keys, and certificates. A solution that rotates passwords for critical systems is performing a key management function. Network access control (NAC) controls device access to a network, not password rotation.
