A computer system is provided. The computer system includes a memory and at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to measure one or more environmental factors; convert the one or more environmental factors to entropy values by truncation or rounding of the one or more environmental factors to a selected number of bits; and combine the entropy values to generate an encryption key. The one or more environmental factors may include a location of the computer system, a current date and time, parameters of a network environment to which the computer system is connected, or an identification of a server to which the computer system is connected. The at least one processor is further configured to encrypt and/or decrypt at least a portion of a data file and/or at least a portion of a binary executable application using the encryption key.
A computer system comprising:
A method for providing environmental based encryption comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing executable sequences of instructions to provide environmental based encryption, the sequences of instructions comprising instructions to:
