Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method for providing durable forward confidentiality during communications between devices, in accordance with some embodiments. Accordingly, the method may include receiving an ephemeral entropy source identifier and a bit range identifier from a first user device, encrypting the ephemeral entropy source identifier and the bit range identifier, generating a ciphertext, transmitting the ciphertext to a second user device, receiving the ciphertext from the second user device, decrypting the ciphertext, obtaining the ephemeral entropy source identifier and the bit range identifier, identifying an ephemeral entropy source and a bit range, capturing a content from a stream of the ephemeral entropy source, generating a secret key using the content, identifying the ephemeral entropy source and the bit range, capturing the content from the stream, and generating the secret key using the content.
