Question
gohpep
I was thinking of a secure encryption key generation method for privately storing files on public servers, for example, OneDrive.
When the user creates their account, the password is used in a key generation method unique to each user, to create an encryption key. Their stored password on the server (and all of their files) are encrypted using this key. To login, the user enters their password, and the system checks if it is the right one by generating a key using the same key generation method using the entered password. It then decrypts the encrypted password file, and sees if the entered password matches the stored password. If their password is correct, it will generate the correct key which will decrypt the password file with the correct password, and if the password is incorrect, it will generate a wrong key which will decrypt the password file to gibberish.
Not wondering how to code this, but if it would conceptually work.
