  • (a) receiving into a computer system input data from a user;

    (b) generating within the computer system a first key as a deterministic function of said received data of said step (a);

    (c) clearing from the computer system said received data of said step (a) so that said received data is no longer available for generating the first key;

    (d) generating within the computer system a second key as a deterministic function of said generated first key of said step (b), said generated first and second keys comprising a public-private key pair; and

    (e) following said step (d) of generating said second key, clearing said generated first key from the computer system so that said generated first key is no longer available for generating the second key.
