This technical solution relates to the field of
digital data processing, in particular to the methods of managing backups of computer devices. The technical result is an increase in the security of backups due to using symmetric cryptographic keys transmitted over a
quantum channel, each of which corresponds to a specific
backup. The technical result is achieved due to a computer-implemented method of secure management of
backup copies of RCM, with the function of RAM
encryption on the CPU, using
quantum key distribution (QKD), under which: a connection is formed between the RCM, at least one
user device and a QKD device, while the QKD device creates a
quantum channel, which connects the RCM with user devices, and the RCM and the user devices are connected via a data network; QKD device creates symmetric cryptographic keys, one of one of which is transmitted to the
user device for storing registry keys, and the second is transferred to RCM, after receiving the key to the RCM, a
backup copy (BC) is created with the help of the central processor, state of the processor memory in a given time is encrypted and transferred to a persistent data storage; and the RCM backup is performed through the following stages: a command from
user device to restore the BC is sent, and said command contains a cryptographic key, which was used to form the required BC, encrypted using a new symmetric key derived from the QKD device; in response to a received command, the transmission of the BC to the RAM of RCM is performed; the QKD device is used to transmit said new symmetric key to the CPU and decrypt the
primary key; the central processor with the relevant cryptographic key for the BC is used to restore the RCM, and said RCM is stored in RAM and contains the relevant state of the encrypted RAM of the RCM.
