Abstract

The present disclosure relates to generating a passphrase for an encrypted volume by at least cryptographically combing the first cryptographic key and the shared secret. Where the shared secret is split into a plurality of shares and a first number of the plurality of shares is greater than a second number of the plurality of shares and the second number of the plurality of shares is required to reconstruct the shared secret.
