Abstract

See full text

Encryption keys may be deployed to a satellite, secured, and accessed from a terrestrial source that verifies entity identifying information, generates an access key that is associated in a key pair with a one-time pad (OTP) key used to encrypt a message, transmits the access key to a satellite on which the key pair and encrypted message are stored, receives the encrypted message and the OTP key from the satellite, and decrypts the encrypted message using the OTP key. The satellite receives the OTP from an extra-terrestrial delivery vehicle, stores the OTP in memory, associates one-to-one the access keys and OTP keys as the key pairs in a key pairs table, receives a request for the encrypted message, the request including the access key paired in a key pair in the key pairs table with the OTP key that was used to encrypt the message, and retrieves, in response to receiving the access key, the OTP key and the encrypted message associated in the data storage with the OTP key paired with the access key. After retrieving the OTP key and encrypted message, the satellite transmits the OTP key and encrypted message to the terrestrial source and destroys the key pair.
