Abstract
A credential, such as a password, for an entity is used to generate multiple keys. The generated keys are distributed to credential verification systems to enable the credential verification systems to perform authentication operations. The keys are generated such that access to a generated key allows for authentication with a proper subset of the credential verification systems. Thus, unauthorized access to information used by one authentication system does not, by itself, allow for successful authentication with other authentication systems.
