Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 4:
5. A system comprising:
at least one processor;
at least one memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor;
at least one network interface communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and configured to communicate with external computing devices; and
wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
generate a private key;
generate at least one encryption key;
apply at least one exclusive or (XOR) operation to the private key and the at least one encryption key to encrypt the private key using the at least one encryption key to generate an encrypted private key;
combine the encrypted private key and the at least one encryption key together into a combined key;
split the combined key into at least one set of key components, wherein at least a subset of key components of the at least one set of key components can be used to reconstruct the encrypted private key and the at least one encryption key; and
erase the at least one encryption key from the at least one memory.
