Needless to say, with the advent of the digital age, the need for robust security and authentication has greatly increased. In conjunction, the complexity of encryption and decryption has also increased. Consumers today engage in many financial transactions online. Sensitive medical information is stored and transmitted electronically. Businesses want to transact negotiations or mergers securely to prevent competitors from knowing. Companies want their employees to be able to log into their networks securely from home. Consumers need to be able to know that their information is secure and that only the intended receiver is viewing the information. Computers can make codes more complex and more difficult to break, but at the same time enabling hackers with powerful code breaking tools. 

For example, computer processing power can help break codes through "brute-force." A brute-force attack uses the speed of computers to try each of the variations to find the key. A computer can run through the possibilities much faster than a person could by hand. Protecting the key is also important. If you can get ahold of the key, then you can easily decrypt the message. So methods that send a key or expose parts of the key to third parties are weaker systems. Some codes have been broken because parts of the keys were exposed. So protecting the keys from third party exposure, may help strengthen the code. 

 For example, the secure data may be non-communicated between devices. This secure data may be used for a variety of security applications. For example, the security information may be used for, but not limited to, any application that uses random data, sessions keys, personal/authorization signing, digital signatures, encryption keys, security keys, codes, authentication, access, physical access, system or data access, online access, computer log in, data protection, encryption applications like Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Data Encryption Standard (DES), One-Time-Pads (OTP), or for any application in which security and/or authentication is desired.
