Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, system, and computer program product for bluesalt security. A computer receives a confidential data configuration wherein specific sensor are assigned to specific confidential information. The assigned sensors are measured for values as a system administrator enters a password corresponding to the confidential information. The measured values are converted into a salt and concatenated with the password to generate a primary key. The primary key is used to encrypt the confidential information, then the primary key is encrypted using a secondary key comprised of a second password with a second set of sensor information as the salt. The encrypted key is saved securely while the secondary key is destroyed. In order to decrypt the confidential information, a user must replicate the password and sensor values to generate the primary or secondary key.
