Abstract:
The method herein teaches encrypting a Private Key using a Passkey from an RSA generated private key/public key pair; the encrypted Private Key is split and then the portions are stored in two different databases. To encrypt data a new AES key is created that encrypts the data that is stored in another database. All users have their AES key encrypted using their associated public encryption keys such that the encrypted AES keys are stored in another database. To decrypt data the user enters his PassKey that is used to decrypt a rejoined split private key from portions that were retrieved from their respective databases. Next the encrypted AES key is retrieved and decrypted using the decrypted Private Key. Finally the AES encrypted data is retrieved from a database and decrypted using the decrypted AES key.
