Secure Distributed Information System

A method of sharing of encrypted data, the method comprising:

• by an electronic device:
• receiving a password from a user in order to perform an action,
• receiving a salt value,
• generating a user key using the password and the salt value,
• receiving an encrypted key location identifier value,
• decrypting the encrypted key location identifier value to obtain a key location identifier,
• receiving an encrypted read token value,
• decrypting the encrypted read token value using the user key to obtain a read token value,
• transmitting the read token value and the key location identifier to a server electronic device, and
• receiving, from the server electronic device, an encrypted encryption key.

A system for sharing of encrypted data, the system comprising:

• an electronic device;
• a computer-readable storage medium comprising one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the electronic device to:
• receive a password from a user in order to perform an action,
• receive a salt value,
• generate a user key using the password and the salt value,
• receive an encrypted key location identifier value,
• decrypt the encrypted key location identifier value to obtain a key location identifier,
• receive an encrypted read token value,
• decrypt the encrypted read token value using the user key to obtain a read token value,
• transmit the read token value and the key location identifier to a server electronic device,
• receive an encrypted encryption key from the server electronic device.
