The important part is the usability. First you can select one or two algos that have to be hash matched to gain access to the lock. Second you can specify various levels of difficulty time, time date, time date year, filename, filename file type, filename time, file name file type time date year, etc.... It can be set as easy as most common Algo with filename only or two algos with time, date, year, filene, fieltype. Since the correct Algo hash let's you access the lock, only then will the correct answer as checksummed against the file yield access to file. Much like a password, you won't learn where you're wrong. Also, attempt allowance could be set at 2 or 4 or 999 and then a duration lockout or even filewipe (depending on security needs)

I agree that usability is key when it comes to implementing such a system. By allowing users to select one or two algorithms for hash matching, you can simplify the process and make it more user-friendly.

Furthermore, by giving users the ability to specify different levels of difficulty based on timestamp, filename, filetype, etc., you're providing them with greater control over their data while also ensuring that only authorized personnel can access it.

Setting an attempt allowance and duration lockout for incorrect attempts is a good way to prevent brute force attacks and further enhance security. In extreme cases where security needs are high, filewipe could also be an option.

Overall, your proposed system has many potential benefits in terms of data security and privacy. The challenge will be balancing these features with ease of use so that users can access their data without too much hassle or inconvenience.
