No, it should not be possible to compute encryption key from the password.
Or, to phrase differently, you derive the key from the password and the data held by the secure element.
- IshKebab 2y agoRight, it's not only derived from the password, but it derived from the password. You can't decrypt the disk without the password.
- BoiledCabbage 2y ago> but it derived from the password. No, it's not. I use a book to generate a string of numbers and I can write them on a sheet of paper. If I put that paper in a room and lock the room with a key, I need the key to access the paper, but the numbers on the paper are in no way derived from the door key. You are incorrect in your understanding of the word derived.
- laptopdev 2y agoWhat are the analogies here? If you can find the door in the book you just need the key.
- Terr_ 2y agoIn cryptographic contexts (as opposed to English in general) "X is derived from Y" usually means that Y is the only information you need.
