Abstract
Provided are a computer program product, system and method for a redundant key server encryption environment. A key server transmits public keys associated with the key server and at least one device to at least one remote key server. The key server receives from the at least one remote key server public keys associated with the at least one remote key server. The key server receives a request for an encryption key from a requesting device comprising one of the at least one device and generates the encryption key for use by the requesting device to unlock a storage. The key server generates a first wrapped encryption key by encrypting the encryption key with a requesting device public key associated with the requesting device. The key server generates a second wrapped encryption key by encrypting the encryption key with a public key associated with the key server. At least one additional wrapped encryption key is generated for each of the at least one remote key server by encrypting the encryption key with the at least one public key provided by the at least one remote key server. The key server transmits the first, second and the at least one additional wrapped encryption key to the requesting device.
