How to store and use a Cryptographic Seed in a database Companies such as Barclays use cryptographic seeds (for their PINsentry system), RSA do the same for RSA SecurID, but how do they safely secure the seeds in the database. 
With passwords you just hash it at and add a salt, but the server must know the original seed to verify the users code, the one-time password generated from the seed.
The best way to encrypt a seed in a db would be to use multiparty computation and heterogeneous computing (multiple core systems). The only other way would be to store them in plaintext, e.g. in a shadow password (non-public file).
