Abstract
A key management system for providing encryption of a disk in a client device is provided. The system comprises a trusted platform module (TPM) having a first fragment of a key, a remote storage having a second fragment of the key, and a processing unit to partially boot instructions relating to the booting of the client device, send a request for validation of the instructions to the TPM, receive the first fragment of a key from the TPM if the validation is successful, send a request for the second fragment of the key along with credentials to access the remote storage. The remote storage verifies the credentials and a network through which the request is received and transmits the second fragment if the verification is successful. The processing unit then combines the first fragment and second fragment of the key to generate an encryption key which is used to complete the booting.
