Abstract
Techniques for encrypting long-term data using layered encryption based on difficult to obtain secrets are described herein. The set of data to encrypt is designated as the source data for the first iteration. Then, for each iteration, a derived set of data is generated from a set of random data and the source data is combined with the derived set of data to produce a set of encrypted data. The set of encrypted data is then designated as the source data for the next iteration.
