Abstract

See full text

A system and method allows portable, encrypted data to be accessible through multiple hosts, including new hosts (14), without requiring a secure link to the new hosts. A split key encryption system encrypts (52) data and stores the encrypted data on a portable device (10). A split of the encryption key is stored (54) in the portable device (10), and another split of the key is stored (54) in a home host (12) . A password-modified key is then made (58) by combining a password with the encryption key. This password-modified key is then reduced (58), with one split being stored on the host (12) and another split stored on the portable device (10) . Data can be accessed with a new host (14) by transferring (78) the host password-modified split to the new host (14) and entering (80) the password into the portable device (10).
