A system for encrypting a data encryption key includes a key encryption key generator configured to receive a public portion of a label, the label including an asymmetric key pair of the public portion and a private portion, the key encryption key generator being further configured to process the public portion of the label to obtain a key encryption key, and a data encryption key encoder configured to receive the key encryption key from the key encryption key generator and to receive a data encryption key from a random number generator, the encoder being further configured to encrypt the data encryption key using the key encryption key to produce an encrypted data encryption key and to provide the encrypted data encryption key to an encryption device.
