1. A method for securely remotely storing an encryption key, the method comprising:
encrypting the encryption key using a symmetrical encryption algorithm to render a cipher text data;
splitting, using according to a splitting algorithm, the cipher text data into at least a first cipher text segment set and a second cipher text segment set; and
transferring the first cipher text segment set and the second cipher text segment set, respectively, to a first storage server at a first geographic location and a second storage server at a second geographic location of a secure storage system,
wherein, in association with the transferring, an identifying value is provided for subsequent identification of the first cipher text segment set and the second cipher text segment set from the secure storage system.
