An example method for a first host, being an owner of an object stored in a virtual storage area network (vSAN) cluster, to perform encryption and decryption operations during a rekey in the vSAN cluster is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a first encryption key and a first key identifier (ID) of the first encryption key; transmitting the first key ID and an active key index to a second host; using the first encryption key to perform encryption and decryption operations; and in response to a determination of receiving a key change notification from a master node of the vSAN cluster, terminating a connection with the second host.
