Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to perform an application programming interface (API). In at least one embodiment, said API is to cause information to be encrypted based, at least in part, on one or more encryption algorithm indicators.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A processor comprising: one or more circuits to perform an application programming interface (API) to cause information to be encrypted based, at least in part, on one or more encryption algorithm indicators. 2 . The processor according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more encryption algorithm indicators are to identify one or more salts. 3 . The processor according to claim 1 , wherein performing the API is to further cause a mapping of encryption algorithm identifiers to salts to be generated. 4 . The processor according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more encryption algorithm indicators comprise one or more opaque identifiers associated with one or more encryption algorithms. 5 . The processor according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more encryption algorithm indicators identify one or more salts usable to encrypt the information. 6 . The processor according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more encryption algorithm indicators identify cryptographic information usable to encrypt the information, and wherein the cryptographic information is inaccessible outside of software to use the information. 7 . The processor according to claim 1 , wherein performing the API is to cause the information to be encrypted such that, to decrypt the information, at least both cryptographic information accessible to a user and cryptographic information inaccessible outside of software to use the information are to be used. 8 . The processor according to claim 1 , wherein performing the API is to further cause the information to be encrypted using at least both a key of a user and an encryption algorithm identified by the one or more encryption algorithm indicators. 9 . A method comprising: performing an application programming interface (API) to cause information to be encrypted based, at least in part, on one or more encryption algorithm indicators. 10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the one or more encryption algorithm indicators are to identify one or more salts. 11 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein performing the API is to further cause a mapping of encryption algorithm identifiers to salts to be generated. 12 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the one or more encryption algorithm indicators comprise one or more opaque identifiers associated with one or more encryption algorithms. 13 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the one or more encryption algorithm indicators identify one or more salts usable to encrypt the information. 14 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the one or more encryption algorithm indicators identify cryptographic information usable to encrypt the information, and wherein the cryptographic information is inaccessible outside of software to use the information. 15 . A system comprising: one or more processors to perform an application programming interface (API) to cause information to be encrypted based, at least in part, on one or more encryption algorithm indicators. 16 . The system according to claim 15 , wherein the one or more encryption algorithm indicators are to identify one or more salts. 17 . The system according to claim 15 , wherein performing the API is to further cause a mapping of encryption algorithm identifiers to salts to be generated. 18 . The system according to claim 15 , wherein the one or more encryption algorithm indicators comprise one or more opaque identifiers associated with one or more encryption algorithms. 19 . The system according to claim 15 , wherein the one or more encryption algorithm indicators identify one or more salts usable to encrypt the information. 20 . The system according to claim 15 , wherein performing the API is to cause the information to be encrypted such that, to decrypt the information, at least both cryptographic information accessible to a user and cryptographic information inaccessible outside of software to use the information are to be used.
