Abstract

Embodiments of methods, systems, and storage medium associated with providing access to encrypted data for authorized users are disclosed herein. In one instance, the method may include obtaining a derived value for an authenticated user based on user personalization data of the authenticated user, and generating a user-specific encryption key based on the derived value. The derived value may have entropy in excess of a predetermined level. The user-specific encryption key may enable the authenticated user to access the encrypted data stored at the storage device. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
