Asymmetric public-private key cryptosystem RSA (key size is 4096 bit) use public encryption key and private decryption key. The public encryption key is storing in database (DB) in open way. The private decryption key is storing in DB encrypted using AES 256 using key which consist of the user’s password and secret key. It cannot be decrypted without user’s password and secret key.
User’s credentials are user’s login is stored in DB. User’s password is not stored. We store only hash of the password. We generate public-private key pair for cryptosystem RSA during user’s sign up. This public-private key pair is unique for each user. The key pair is stored in DB encrypted format using AES 256.
