Obfuscating cryptographic material in memory

A computer-implemented method for de-obfuscating cryptographic material stored in a memory, the method comprising:

• receiving a request for cryptographic material stored in an obfuscation buffer of the memory;
• determining a location of each byte of the cryptographic material in the obfuscation buffer by reading, from a position tracking buffer based on a position start offset value, an address indicating the location of each byte of the cryptographic material in the obfuscation buffer;
• writing each byte of the cryptographic material from the obfuscation buffer to a volatile buffer;
• and
• providing, based on verification of the cryptographic material in the volatile buffer and in response to the request for the cryptographic material, the cryptographic material.

A computing device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing instructions, that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to:
• write each byte of cryptographic material to a different location in an obfuscation buffer, wherein each location is based on a random offset value determined for each byte of cryptographic material;
• store, in a position tracking buffer based on a position start offset value, a first address of a first byte of cryptographic material written to the obfuscation buffer, wherein the first address indicates a location of the first byte in the obfuscation buffer;
• and
• store, in the position tracking buffer based on the position start offset value plus an index associated with each byte of the cryptographic material written to the obfuscation buffer, a subsequent address of each subsequent byte of cryptographic material written to the obfuscation buffer.
