20090110193 | SCHRYPTION METHOD AND DEVICE - A schryption of a text message is based on a schryption key for defining one or more aspects of an encryption and/or a decryption of the text message. For an encryption of the text message, the schryption key is derived from a user key in the form of an encryption key (e.g., a secret key or a public key), and the text message in the form of plaintext is encrypted as defined, at least partially, by the schryption key to thereby yield a ciphertext. For a decryption of the text message, the schryption key is derived from user key in the form of a decryption key (e.g., a secret key or a private key), and the text message in the form of a ciphertext is decrypted as defined, at least partially, by the schryption key to thereby yield a plaintext. | 04-30-2009 |

20120087495 | METHOD FOR GENERATING AN ENCRYPTION/DECRYPTION KEY - The present invention relates to a method for generating an encryption/decryption key, and especially for generating a one-time encryption/decryption key used for symmetric encryption, i.e. where the same key is used both for encryption and decryption. In order to start key generation a first node sends a request to a central server for setting up communication with a second node. The central server sends a key generating file both the nodes. Each node generates a different intermediate data set, i.e a first and second data set. The first data set generated by the first node is sent to the second node, which based on this data set generates a third data set which is sent back to the first node. The generating of a first cryptographic key in node is based on bit by bit comparison between the third and the first intermediate data set and the generation of a second cryptographic key is based on bit by bit comparison between the first and the second intermediate data set. The first and second cryptographic key being the same. | 04-12-2012 |
20120275596 | CRYPTOGRAPHIC KEY ATTACK MITIGATION - Cryptographic keys and, subsequently, the data they are intended to protect, are safeguarded from unwarranted attacks utilizing various systems and methodologies designed to minimize the time period in which meaningful versions of cryptographic keys exist in accessible memory, and therefore, are vulnerable. Cryptographic keys, and consequently the data they are intended to protect, can alternatively, or also, be protected from attackers utilizing systems and a methodology that employs a removable storage device for providing authentication factors used in the encryption and decryption processing. Cryptographic keys and protected data can alternatively, or also, be protected with a system and methodology that supports data separation on the storage device(s) of a computing device. Cryptographic keys and the data they are intended to protect can alternatively, or also, be protected employing a system and methodology of virtual compartmentalization that effectively segregates key management from protected data. | 11-01-2012 |

20140198914 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ESTABLISHING A KEY AGREEMENT PROTOCOL - A system and method for generating a secret key to facilitate secure communications between users. A first and second and a function between the two monoids are selected, the function being a monoid homomorphism. A group and a group action of the group on the first monoid is selected. Each user is assigned a submonoid of the first monoid so that these submonoids satisfy a special symmetry property determined by the function, a structure of the first and second monoids, and the action of the group. A multiplication of an element in the second monoid and an element in the first monoid is obtained by combining the group action and the monoid homomorphism. First and second users choose private keys which are sequences of elements in their respective submonoids. A first result is obtained by multiplying an identity element by the first element of the sequence in a respective submonoid. Starting with the first result, each element of the user's private key may be iteratively multiplied by the previous result to produce a public key. Public keys are exchanged between first and second users. Each user's private key may be iteratively multiplied by the other user's public key to produce a secret key. Secure communication may then occur between the first and second user using the secret key. | 07-17-2014 |

20160191239 | Methods and Computer Systems with Provisions for High Availability of Cryptographic Keys - Shared file systems and methods ensuring high availability of cryptographic keys. The keys are encrypted with at least one shareable master key to generate corresponding encrypted cryptographic keys, which are stored in a key database in the shared file system. A master key manager with access to the key database is elected from among master key manager candidates and is assigned a common virtual address. All master key manager candidates have the shareable master key such that during a failover event the availability of the encrypted cryptographic keys is not interrupted as a new master key manager takes over the common virtual address from the previous master key manager. Additionally, a message authentication code (MAC) is deployed for testing the integrity of keys during their retrieval. | 06-30-2016 |
