WIDELY DISTRIBUTED PARAMETERIZATION

摘要

This technology mitigates the vulnerabilities of parameter storage by calculating parameters dynamically rather than storing and using static parameters. This example non-limiting technology derives parameters “on-demand” from a subset of widely distributed parameters determined by a random string generated for each encrypted session. The subset of widely distributed parameters will be different each time a new subset is generated as the individual parameters are randomly selected. Thus the individual encrypted message (or document) will be encrypted differently using a different set of parameters each time. Some of these parameters bind the encrypted message to a specific user account and user device making the resulting encrypted message highly secure.

1. A method of encrypting comprising:
querying a computing environment to discover a set of widely dispersed parameters; transforming the widely dispersed parameter set into a cryptographic key; using the cryptographic key to encrypt a message; and communicating the encrypted message and sufficient information to enable a further end point to derive the same or an associated cryptographic key to decrypt the message without communicating or revealing the cryptographic key.
