Key length discriminator for ransomware attacks
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.
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, cause the computer system, when generating a key to:
create a salt using artificial intelligence;
form, within the key, a data section by the salt and an original key;
form, within the key, a dummy section comprising leftover space set to a dummy value to fill out a length of the key; and
reorder the data section of the key, wherein a portion of the salt is moved to a different position of the data section to jumble the salt and the original 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, cause 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, cause 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 , 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.
9 . A method for providing countermeasures for a ransomware attack by generating a key, comprising:
creating a salt using artificial intelligence;
forming, within the key, a data section by the salt and an original key;
forming, within the key, a dummy section comprising leftover space set to a dummy value to fill out a length of the key; and
reordering the data section of the key, 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 method of claim 9 , wherein the salt is formed using generative artificial intelligence to select a salt length.
11 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising shifting the data section of the key so that a portion of the dummy section is at a beginning of the key.
12 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the dummy section precedes or follows the data section of the key.
13 . The method 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.
14 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising adjusting the length of the key.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the length of the key can be 8 bits or 16 bits.
16 . The method 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.
