  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A CRYPTOGRAPHIC KEY
    Publication number: 20240022399
    Abstract: A system and method for generating a cryptographic key using a sequence of data segments selected by a user from one or more data resources. Raw data from the one or more data resources corresponding to each of the selected data segments, and the sequence in which such data segments are selected, is extracted and processed to generate a key. The key can be used for any cryptographic and authentication purpose. By enabling a user to select the sequence of data segments from the one or more data resources in any manner the user desires, the user can create a strong key, but also easily remember the underlying data resource and chosen sequence. This technique provides enhanced security while maintaining ease of creation and use of such security.
