A pairwise key-agreement scheme is provided for creating key agreements non-interactively between pairs of nodes disposed in a hierarchy of nodes. The scheme is non-interactive so that any two nodes can agree on a shared secret key without interaction. In addition, the scheme is identity-based so that any given node only needs to know the identity of peer nodes to compute the shared secret key. All of the nodes are arranged in a hierarchy where an intermediate node in the hierarchy can derive the secret keys for each of its children from its own secret key and the identity of the child. Accordingly, the scheme is fully resilient against compromise of any number of leaves in the hierarchy and of a threshold number of nodes in the upper levels of the hierarchy. The scheme is well-suited for environments such as mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs), which are very dynamic, have acute bandwidth-constraints and have many nodes are vulnerable to compromise.

A method, system and program are disclosed for efficiently processing host data which comprises encrypted and non-encrypted data and is to be written to a storage medium. The encrypted data is written to the storage medium in encrypted form. The non-encrypted data is encrypted by a storage device using a well known encryption key and written to the storage medium. In this way, the data that is processed by the storage device to and from the storage medium can always be processed through a single encryption engine.

A method, system and program are provided for enabling selective access to multiple users' encrypted data in a single storage cartridge. A unique, derived key is generated for each user's data by performing cryptographic operations on a combination of a common base key and metadata related to the data to be encrypted (e.g. its total block count). The base data key is wrapped with one or more encryption keys to form one or more encryption encapsulated data keys (EEDKs). The base key and the derived key are wrapped to create a session encrypted data key (SEDK), which along with the EEDKs, are conveyed to the tape drive, where the SEDK is decrypted. The EEDKs are then stored in one or more places on the storage cartridge. The base key and the derived key are used to encrypt a predetermined user's data, with the derived key stored on the cartridge with the encrypted data. The encrypted data may be subsequently decrypted by retrieving the EEDK and decrypting it with a decryption key to extract the base data key. The extracted base data key can then be used with other information to calculate the derived key. Once calculated, the derived key is used to decrypt its associated encrypted data.

A computer system and method generates a random output stream of bits. The system comprises an initial evolving state produced from one or more initial keys, one or more round functions, and one or more mask tables. Each round function is part of a step in a sequence of steps. Each step applies the respective round function to a current evolving state to produce a respective new evolving state for processing by the next step in the sequence. The first step in the sequence starts b processing the initial evolving state. The mask tables are produced from one or more of the initial keys. Each of the mask tables has one or more masks. The masks are combined, in each respective step, with the respective new evolving state in a combination operation to create a respective step output. The random output stream bits is a concatenation of each of the respective step outputs. In one preferred embodiment, one or more of the masks in the mask tables are replaced by one or more replacement masks after a number of combination operations. The replacement masks not being linear combinations of prior masks. In an alternative embodiment, there are two or more mask tables produced from one or more of the initial keys. One or more of the masks from each table is combined, in each respective step, with the respective new evolving state in a combination operation to create a respective step output. There may or may not be replacement of the masks in this embodiment.

An access control system and method includes a risk index module which computes a risk index for a dimension contributing to risk. A boundary range defined for a parameter representing each risk index such that the parameter above the range is unacceptable, below the range is acceptable and in the range is acceptable with mitigation measures. A mitigation module determines the mitigation measures which reduce the parameter within the range.
