A method for distributing cryptographic data to authenticated recipients includes receiving, by an access control management system, from a first client device, information associated with an encrypted data object. The method includes receiving, by the access control management system, from a second client device, a request for the information associated with the encrypted data object. The method includes verifying, by the access control management system, that a user of the second client device is identified in the received information associated with the encrypted data object. The method includes authenticating, by the access control management system, with an identity provider, the user of the second client device. The method includes sending, by the access control management system, to the second client device, the received information associated with the encrypted data object.
