Content Encryption and Decryption Using a Custom Key

A method comprising:

• receiving data from a plurality of key sources;
• retrieving a plurality of data sets from the data, each one of the plurality of data sets comprising a plurality of data units;
• assigning each one of the plurality of data units to one of a plurality of unit positions;
• designating unit retrieval positions from the plurality of unit positions according to a movement direction and a movement value assigned to each numeral of a binary sequence;
• extracting individual data units, located at the unit retrieval positions, as a plurality of selected data units;
• and
• generating a custom key using the plurality of selected data units.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions stored thereon, wherein execution of the computer-readable instructions by a processor unit causes the processor unit to:

• generate a key source directory, comprising a plurality of pointers that specify the plurality of key sources;
• access the plurality of key sources according to the plurality of pointers of the key source directory
• receive data from the plurality of key sources;
• retrieve a plurality of data sets from the data, each one of the plurality of data sets comprising a plurality of data units;
• extract a plurality of selected data units from the plurality of data units;
• and
• generate a custom key for encrypting and decrypting content using the plurality of selected data units,
• wherein the plurality of pointers of the key source directory specifies a location of each one of the plurality of key sources on a computer network and at least one of a time standard for accessing each one of the plurality of key sources and a portion of the data to be retrieved as each one of the plurality of data sets.
