| 主权项 | 1. A method of securing user credentials in a remote repository by a communication device, the method comprising: generating, from a password, using an elliptic curve cryptography scheme, a first private key and a first public key pair; generating a second private key and a second public key pair; generating a storage key from the second private key and the first public key; encrypting a set of credentials using the storage key; creating an encrypted credential signature from the encrypted set of credentials and the first private key; and sending the encrypted set of credentials, the encrypted credential signature, and the second public key to the remote repository, wherein the set of credentials include one or both of a user identification (user ID) or a credential password. | ||
