Distributed network encryption key generation

Embodiments of methods and network devices for securing data within a network are generally described herein. One such method includes a key aggregation server receiving a request for an encryption key to secure the data. The server may query a plurality of network devices for a respective key from each queried network device. The server may then receive the respective key from each of the plurality of network devices and select a key element from each of the plurality of keys. An encryption key may be constructed from the key elements and transmitted to a client.
