If everyone involved will have both the public and secret
daily keys, I don't see the need for using public cryptography.
Just generate all those daily keys¹ as a random 128 bit
passphrase each and use a symmetric cipher such as AES.²
It is actually an interesting contemporary phenomenon:

Thank you, Peter.
My question is purely about the security of the encryption.
There is no need in my proposed scenario for extra signing or overhead.
Understand that I am suggesting the creation of a set of keys, one per day,
less than 33 keys, generated by one central admin.
Second, i am

Thank you for your excellent response.
I laid out my scenario.

Perfect. that was the answer that
I was looking for.
My "risk scenario" was an attempt to understand the maximum defaults of the
current maximum protection

Let me continue by explaining some back up information for my question.

Windows .exe auto-install packages.
