Abstract

A computing device has a processor and a persistent memory, e.g., a fuse-based memory, storing two or more reduced sets of information. The processor is configured to derive a first cryptographic key using a first reduced set of information, e.g., prime numbers, and to use the first cryptographic key for performing cryptographic operations. The processor is also configured to detect a trigger event and, in response to the detected trigger event, derive a second cryptographic key using a second reduced set of information. The processor can then use the second cryptographic key for performing cryptographic operations.
