Abstract: The article describes a key management system in which the master key serves as the basis for generating ephemeral keys with a limited validity period. This master key is stored in a secure container, which significantly reduces the risk of losing it. The master key is used only after the successful assembly of one of the ephemeral keys from its component parts (shards). This approach ensures a high level of security and flexibility of the system, minimizing the likelihood of leakage of key information and making it more resistant to possible attacks.

Keywords: cryptography, information security, distributed storage systems.
