Secure Store Service App Error

Question

I am trying to setup Secure Store Server and after successfully creating the Service and the Proxy I am greeted with this error when I attempt to manage it.

Cannot complete this action as the Secure Store Shared Service is not responding. Please contact your administrator.

The Event Viewer displays this error.
