Abstract

Methods and apparatus are provided for cryptographically linking data identifiers and authentication identifiers without storing the association between the authentication and data secrets in the database of the server. A data secret of a client is provided to a server for storage with an authentication identifier (AuthId) and a pseudo-random client value. The server provides the client with a sequence number of the stored data secret that is associated with a data identifier (DataId) identifying the data secret obtained using a Key Derivation Function and a storage seed. The client registers with the server to obtain the authentication identifier (AuthId). Techniques are also provided for retrieving and updating the data secret.
