A cryptographic key split combiner, which includes a number of key split generators ( 42, 48 , and 56 ) for generating cryptographic key splits ( 32, 34, 36, 38 , and 64 ) and a key split randomizer for randomizing the cryptographic key splits to produce a cryptographic key ( 62 ), and a process for forming cryptographic keys. Each of the key split generators ( 42, 48 and 56 ) generates key splits ( 32, 34, 36, 38 , and 64 ) from seed data ( 40, 44, 46, 50, 52, 54, 58 , and 60 ). The key split generators may include a random split generator ( 42 ) for generating a random key split ( 32 ) based on reference data ( 40 ) and encryption date/time ( 44 ). Other key split generators may include a token split generator ( 48 ) for generating a token key split ( 34 ) based on label data ( 46 ) and organization data ( 50 ), a console split generator ( 56 ) for generating a console key split ( 36 ) based on current maintenance data ( 52 ) and previous maintenance data ( 54 ), and a biometric split generator for generating a biometric key split ( 38 ) based on biometric data ( 58 ). All splits may further be based on static data, which may be updated, for example by modifying a prime number divisor of the static data. The label data may be read from a storage medium, and may include user authorization data. The label data may be associated with label categories and subcategories of addresses, which are meaningful to a user who is specifying or determining the intended recipient(s) of the encrypted information or object. An array associated with a software component object may use key splits ( 32, 34, 36, 38 , and 64 ) which determine which methods and properties are allowed and control access to the memory address for those allowed methods and properties. The resulting cryptographic key ( 62 ) may be, for example, a stream of symbols, at least one symbol block, or a key matrix.
