Abstract: A method for data security implemented as an application on a device includes generating a request for one or more secret shares needed to reconstruct a key. The device stores a first secret share in its memory. The method also includes signing the request with a certificate that identifies the request as valid without identifying the device, and sending the request, signed with the certificate, to at least one other device. The method further includes receiving, from the at least one other device, the one or more secret shares, determining whether the one or more secret shares received from the at least one other device is sufficient to reconstruct the key, and reconstructing the key using the first secret share and the one or more secret shares upon determining that the one or more secret shares are sufficient to reconstruct the key.

Abstract: A block cipher method and apparatus using round repetition for providing, from a plaintext message (10), a ciphertext message (50) and a global tag (52) is disclosed. The plaintext message is converted into a plurality of ordered plaintext blocks (11) which are successively processed during a round for computing:—a cryptogram (30) by encrypting input data (20) using a single cryptographic key, said cryptogram comprising a first segment (31) and a second segment (32)—a ciphertext block (51) by performing a first operation (41) using, as operands: said first segment (31) said current plaintext block (11) and said second segment (32). At each next round said input data is newly determined based on the current ciphertext block and an updated reproducible data. The ciphertext message is determined by concatenating the ciphertext blocks and the global tag by a second operation (42) using computed authentication local tags as operands.
