Abstract
A seed value is received and a resource encryption key is generated from the seed value. The resource encryption key may be sent to an application server such that the application server system is able to encrypt a resource using the resource encryption key. Authentication credentials and a wrapped key are received and the wrapped key is decrypted to generate an unwrapped key that includes the resource identifier, the resource encryption key, and the user identifier in unencrypted form. The user identifier is accessed from the unwrapped key it is determined that the received authentication credentials correspond to the accessed user identifier. The resource encryption key is sent in unencrypted form to the application server system such that the application server system can decrypt the resource using the resource encryption key in unencrypted form.
