Abstract:
1. A method comprising: processing authentication information generated by a server via a cryptographic operation to generate an output, wherein said processing comprises combining the authentication information with (i) a salt value and (ii) a pepper value based on a computed strength of a user device associated with the authentication information; partitioning the output into (i) a component that identifies the authentication information and (ii) an encryption key component; encrypting an item of cryptographic information via the encryption key component, wherein the item of cryptographic information comprises a mobile data management container credential stored on the server; transferring (i) the component that identifies the authentication information and (ii) the encrypted mobile data management container credential from the server to a mobile platform; storing, in non-volatile memory contained within the mobile platform, (i) the component that identifies the authentication information and (ii) the encrypted mobile data management container credential; creating a list of one or more entries, wherein a respective one of the one or more entries comprises (i) an identifier for the user device associated with the authentication information and (ii) the pepper value corresponding to the user device associated with the authentication information; and providing the list to a policy server.
