MODERNIZED SYSTEM FOR GENERATION AND MANAGEMENT OF CRYPTO-RESISTANT KEYS

With the rapid growth of cyber threats and exponential increase in the number of confidential data leaks, the development and implementation of effective information security methods become an absolute priority for any modern organization. In that context, a robust cryptographic system plays a key role in ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of data, guaranteeing its protection from unauthorized access and misuse. However, despite the importance of cryptographic protection, creating simple yet robust solutions for crypto-resistant key generation remains a relevant and challenging task that requires continuous improvement. The goal of the research is to design and practically implement an innovative cryptographic key generation system with a high degree of resilience based on the robust AES-CTR algorithm and modern cryptographic entropy estimation techniques. To realize such an ambitious goal, the following tasks have been accomplished: a software architecture has been developed to ensure secure key generation, secure storage and correct use of keys, an efficient cryptostability evaluation using advanced entropy analysis methods has been implemented, and finally, an intuitively understandable graphical interface has been provided to make the system accessible to a wide range of end-users.
