Cryptographic key generation system and method

Abstract:

A computing device may be configured to receive a set of inputs from other computing devices. The set of inputs may include inputs derived by the computing devices utilizing cryptographic keys of the computing devices. The set of inputs may be stored in a blockchain such that the inputs are tamper resistant. A symmetric key may be generated (periodically, upon expiration of a timer, according to a protocol set, upon request, etc.) from two or more of the set of inputs. The generated symmetric key may be distributed to the computing devices. The symmetric key may be utilized to encrypt and decrypt communications between two computing devices.
