"MK Ceremony".  I like that.  :-) Definitely what we'll have to do,
as I'm pretty sure we're not going to remove one of our cryptocards
and transport it to DR just for this.  Interesting idea, though!  Is
there a way to copy the master keys from one co-processor to
another?

IMHO You cannot copy master key, because you cannot read it. Of course you can enter MK to many cards at the time.

BTW: "MK Ceremony" is more ceremony or black magice than real security need. Imagine following scenario: simple PC with fresh-installed system + 3270 emulator connected even without SSL to the OSA card, using 5 ft cable - all visible to the personnel involved. Now you can have several persons responsible for key parts and one standing behind the display to audit/manage the process. Don't forget about video surveillance - cameras cannot see the display. As last part of the ceremony is to wipe out the PC HDD (or destroy it if you want). Q: isn't it less secure than using TKE? In what aspect?

Disclaimers:
1. I'm NOT talking about official certifications, regulations, but about real things.
2. TKE can be used for other activities, not only MK Ceremony.
3. Preparation of the above scenario could be considered cumbersome, but pay me half of the TKE price, I will do it for you! ;-) Last, but not least: MK Ceremony is not everyday processs.
