Abstract

A tool which facilitates a balancing of security with usability enabling secure user access to multiple secure sites and locations from several computing devices utilizing a roamable credential store (RCS) which is highly resistant to offline attack. The RCS facilitates a protected Unified Credential Vault (UCV) via a multi-stage encryption process such that user credentials are protected by making offline dictionary attacks prohibitively expensive to an attacker without causing usability to deteriorate commensurately.
