Keys are the essential elements needed in cryptography systems. Both hardware and software solutions are known to produce cryptographic keys. This paper reports a fast software-based approach to generate a private key. The proposed method considers three question–answer pairs decided by the user and email-Id, which is unique for a particular user, as the input. In the first step, a seed is generated, combining a triplet and a unique parameter. Triplet is constructed by representing question–answer pairs as three distinct points and using a harmonic set construction concept. A unique parameter is defined using the triangle formed with this construction and the user’s email-Id. In the next step, taking seed as input, a unique key is generated with the help of cyclic idiosyncratic architecture. This private key generation concept is tested for correctness, randomness, dissimilarity, information entropy, reliability, and resilience against several security threats. |
