Abstract. Security of cryptographic keys is one of the most important issue in a key management process. The question arises whether modern technology really allows for high level of physical protection and security of sensitive data and cryptographic keys. The article considers various contemporary types of threats asso- ciated with the storage of secret keys. We present an innovative way to store sensitive data, using DNA strands as a medium, which significantly reduces hazard connected with electronic devices based data storage and makes the key management process independent of third parties.
