US Patent 10523646 Methods and systems for distributing encrypted cryptographic data

A method for distributing encrypted cryptographic data includes receiving, by a key service, from a first client device, a request for a first public key. The method includes transmitting, by the key service, to the first client device, the first public key. The method includes receiving, by the key service, from an access control management system, an encryption key encrypted with the first public key and a request from a second client device for access to the encryption key. The method includes decrypting, by the key service, the encrypted encryption key, with a private key corresponding to the first public key. The method includes encrypting, by the key service, the decrypted encryption key, with a second public key received from the second computing device. The method includes transmitting, by the key service, to the second client device, the encryption key encrypted with the second public key.
