Abstract
Extending the useful life of finite lifetime asymmetric cryptographic keys by referencing the number of uses of the keys in conjunction with or instead of the elapsed time since generation of the finite lifetime keys. By integrating asymmetric cryptographic keys into a limited use security scheme, the lifetime of finite lifetime asymmetric cryptographic keys is based on the practical risk of security breach during use rather than an arbitrary duration in which the keys are valid.
