A first processor generates a private crypto-key and a public crypto-key. The first processor divides the private crypto-key into two portions, a first private key portion, based upon a user's password, and a second private key portion. The private crypto-key and the first private key portion are then destroyed. The remaining portion, second private key portion, and the public crypto-key are stored in a memory. A second processor generates the first private key portion based upon the user's password and responsive to receiving the user's password.
