From your signature I understand that you work for a very well known company that has a lot of very sensitive information. And I also guess that you are not doing some research stuff there but a real system that will be used by someone. I don't believe that one who knows almost nothing about cryptography and security can design and implement a secure system. My answer today will not explain all the details and issues that you will need to know. It'll only make a false feeling that you know everything. As the result, you'll make a mistake somewhere and tomorrow some hacker will use it to get on magazines front pages. Please, go and read some books about cryptography. Personally I would recommend these two: http://www.schneier.com/book-practical.html http://www.schneier.com/book-applied.html but there are other good titles as well. And if you never did security related work before, you best option would be to find someone with experience and watch how and what is s/he will do.
