Where can tokens be secured prior to being created and issued?

Tokens need to be secured in a manner that protects their integrity and confidentiality before they are created and issued. A safe drawer represents an appropriate level of security for managing sensitive materials, such as tokens used in a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) system. By keeping tokens in a safe drawer, you ensure that only authorized personnel can access them, protecting them from unauthorized access, theft, or tampering.

Using a safe provides physical security that is vital for safeguarding sensitive cryptographic materials and associated data, which could lead to security breaches if compromised. Other options, such as a desk drawer or a remote location, do not guarantee the level of security needed to protect tokens effectively, as they could be easily accessed or not adequately monitored. Choosing a safe drawer reflects best practices in securing sensitive items in a PKI environment.
