  • Publication number: 20230275750
    Abstract: A computer system and a method are provided for storage and distribution of encryption keys in sequence. Encryption keys, such as public keys, are provided key pointers as properties, the key pointer indicating another key, to thereby form a sequence. A current key is designated, and the sequence is advanced to a successor key indicated by the key pointer of the current key upon a predetermined succession event. The current key is transmitted upon receipt of a key request. In various embodiments, succession events can include occurrence of an expiration date, or the addition of a new key to the sequence.

  • Publication number: 20210152351
    Abstract: Aspects of invention include: methods and apparatus implemented in a computer system, the methods and apparatus producing a symmetric encryption key termed a Cipherkey produced for protecting a computer system user's hidden data from unauthorised access by an intruder. The methods and apparatus receive a first input item being a user supplied Secret, and a second input item termed Encrypted Random Data. A computer system performs a precise method of computation based on this input. Six steps are disclosed that result in a hash value result termed a Cipherkey, a hash value that can be used as a symmetric encryption key for protecting a computer system user's hidden data.

  • Publication number: 20210019451
    Abstract: A data storage system stores at least one data element on a data storage device in a protected manner. After each of a plurality of random and irregular intervals, the data storage system renders the data element inaccessible, and requires entry of at least one password on a computer system connected to the data storage system in order to thereby render accessible the data element again.
