ABSTRACT:
Facilitating communication using a digital signature includes: receiving user input data (UID); generating a first key as a deterministic function of the UID; clearing the UID; generating a second key as a deterministic function of the first key; clearing the first key following generation of the second key; and exporting the second key. Neither the UID nor the first key is exported. Thereafter, a digital signature is generated by again receiving the UID; regenerating the first key using the deterministic function and the UID; clearing the UID; generating a digital signature as a function of the regenerated first key; clearing the regenerated first key following generation of the digital signature; and exporting the generated digital signature.
