Abstract
Methods, devices, systems and computer program products are provided to facilitate cryptographically secure retrieval of secret information that is embedded in a device. The embedded secret information can include a random number that is not custom-designed for any specific requestor of the secret information. Upon receiving a request for the embedded secret information, an encrypted secret is provided to the requestor that enables the recovery of the embedded secret information by only the requestor. Moreover, a need for maintenance of a database of the embedded secret information and the associated requestors is eliminated.
