EFFICIENT CONTROL OF GENERATION OF CRYPTOGRAPHIC KEYS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC H04L9/32 G06F12/14 G06F21/22 

FIELD: physics; computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: present invention pertains to control of generation of cryptographic keys in an information media, comprising a party which generates the key and distributes the key information for the party using the key. Through a given unilateral function of deriving keys, a relationship between key generations is determined, which is such that, earlier generation of keys can be more efficiently derived from later generation, but not the opposite. Each time, when necessary, the party using the key iteratively receives the given unilateral function of deriving keys for outputting the key information of at least, one previous key generation from the key information of new key generation. That way, memory requirements for the party using the key can considerably be reduced.

EFFECT: protection of data during recording.
