Abstract

An embodiment generally relates to a method of strong encryption. The method includes generating a first cryptographic key based on a random number and generating a second cryptographic key based on a password. The method also includes encrypting private data with the first cryptographic key to arrive at wrapped private data and encrypting the first cryptographic key with the second cryptographic key to arrive at a wrapped first cryptographic key.
