Abstract
A method and apparatus for generating a dynamic security certificate. The method creates an entropic element from user input, receives metadata from user input and generates a dynamic security certificate using the entropic element and the metadata. The dynamic security certificate is then trusted through user input.
Claims20
A method for generating a dynamic security certificate comprising:
- identifying, from a first user input, at least one sequence of values associated with a user, wherein the first user input comprises data unrelated to an identifying characteristic of the user;
- receiving metadata including at least one identifying characteristic of the user;
- generating a dynamic security certificate using the at least one sequence of values and the metadata;
- and
- enabling a user, through a second user input, verify that the dynamic security certificate can be trusted;
- and
- using the dynamic security certificate, as generated and trusted, access encrypted user data, via a proxy.
An apparatus for generating a dynamic security certificate comprising at least one processor coupled to at least one non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- identifying, from a first input, at least one sequence of values associated with a user, wherein the first user input comprises data unrelated to an identifying characteristic of the user;
- receiving metadata including at least one identifying characteristic of the user;
- generating a dynamic security certificate using the at least one sequence of values and the metadata;
- and
- enabling a user, through a user input, verify that the dynamic security certificate can be trusted;
- wherein the dynamic security certificate, as generated and trusted, is implemented by a proxy to access encrypted user data.
