Abstract

An example computer system for providing countermeasures for a ransomware attack can include: one or more processors; and non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoding instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the computer system to generate a key by to: create a salt using artificial intelligence; form a data section by the salt and an original key; and form a dummy section to fill out a length of the key.

Claims (28)

1 . A computer system for providing countermeasures for a ransomware attack, comprising:

one or more processors; and

non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoding instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the computer system to generate a key by to:

create a salt using artificial intelligence;

form a data section by the salt and an original key; and

form a dummy section to fill out a length of the key.

2 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the salt is formed using generative artificial intelligence to select a salt length.

3 . The computer system of claim 1 , comprising further instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the computer system to shift the data section of the key so that a portion of the dummy section is at a beginning of the key.

4 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the dummy section precedes or follows the data section of the key.

5 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein a first portion of the dummy section precedes the data section and a second portion of the dummy section follows the data section of the key.

6 . The computer system of claim 1 , comprising further instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the computer system to adjust the length of the key.

7 . The computer system of claim 6 , wherein the length of the key can be 8 bits or 16 bits.

8 . The computer system of claim 1 , comprising further instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the computer system to reorder the data section of the key.

9 . The computer system of claim 8 , wherein a portion of the salt is moved to a different position of the data section to jumble the salt and the original key.

10 . The computer system of claim 9 , wherein a first portion of the dummy section precedes the data section and a second portion of the dummy section follows the data section of the key.

11 . A method for providing countermeasures for a ransomware attack by generating a key, comprising:

creating a salt using artificial intelligence;

forming a data section by the salt and an original key; and

forming a dummy section to fill out a length of the key.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the salt is formed using generative artificial intelligence to select a salt length.

13 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising shifting the data section of the key so that a portion of the dummy section is at a beginning of the key.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the dummy section precedes or follows the data section of the key.

15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein a first portion of the dummy section precedes the data section and a second portion of the dummy section follows the data section of the key.

16 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising adjusting the length of the key.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the length of the key can be 8 bits or 16 bits.

18 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising reordering the data section of the key.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein a portion of the salt is moved to a different position of the data section to jumble the salt and the original key.

20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein a first portion of the dummy section precedes the data section and a second portion of the dummy section follows the data section of the key.
