NIST defines the term cryptoperiod as the time span during which a specific key is authorized for use or in which the keys for a given system or application may remain in effect. One document on key management uses the following time diagram for a shared secret key.
Originator usage period
<----------------------------->
Recipient usage period
<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
Cryptoperiod
<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
Explain the overlap by giving an example application in which the originator’s usage period for the shared secret key begins before the recipient’s usage period and also ends before the recipients usage period.
