20090132813 | Apparatus and Methods for Providing Scalable, Dynamic, Individualized Credential Services Using Mobile Telephones - Apparatus and methods perform transactions in a secure environment between an individual and another party, such as a merchant, in various embodiments. The individual possesses a mobile electronic device, such as a smartphone, that can encrypt data according to a public key infrastructure. The individual authenticates the individual's identity to the device, thereby unlocking credentials that may be used in a secure transaction. The individual causes the device to communicate the credentials, in a secure fashion, to an electronic system of a relying party, in order to obtain the relying party's authorization to enter the transaction. The relying party system determines whether to grant the authorization, and communicates the grant and the outcome of the transaction to the device using encryption according to the public key infrastructure. | 05-21-2009 |
20110022835 | Secure Communication Using Asymmetric Cryptography and Light-Weight Certificates - Encrypted communications between servers and client devices over an unsecured channel, such as the Internet, without using a public key infrastructure are disclosed. Messages to a client device are encrypted using an encryption key of an authorized individual, regardless of the identity of the user of the client device. Encryption is performed by a system that does not expose encryption keys to the client device or the server, thereby preventing man-in-the-middle attacks against the encryption key. Secure communications are combined with a two-factor protocol for authenticating the identity of an individual. An individual authenticates by generating a cipher using a light-weight certificate that has a shared secret but no other information identifying the individual. Separately, a server generates the same cipher using the shared secret, thereby authenticating the individual's identity to a relying party. | 01-27-2011 |
20110167258 | Efficient Secure Cloud-Based Processing of Certificate Status Information - A cloud-based system having a secure database of certificate information and associated methods are provided. The system and methods may be used to supplement or replace traditional OCSP processing systems. Responses to OCSP requests are digitally signed and cached in a cloud database server remote from the requester. Other servers in the cloud may access the cached OCSP responses from the database server, rather than the originating certificate authority. Thus, the work traditionally done by the certificate authority is moved to the cloud, which eliminates a single point of failure and improves the resources available to perform transactional processing. | 07-07-2011 |
20110246765 | Efficient, Secure, Cloud-Based Identity Services - An Identity Ecosystem Cloud (IEC) provides global, scalable, cloud-based, cryptographic identity services as an identity assurance mechanism for other services, such as data storage, web services, and electronic commerce engines. The IEC complements these other services by providing enhanced identity protection and authentication. An IEC performs identity services using surrogate digital certificates having encryption keys that are never exposed to the public. An individual requesting other services must meet an identity challenge before access to these other services is granted. Service requests to the IEC, and responses from the IEC, are securely encrypted. An IEC integrates smoothly into existing services by layering on top of, or being used in conjunction with, existing security measures. Identity transactions may be logged in a manner that complies with strict medical and financial privacy laws. | 10-06-2011 |
20110291798 | Wireless Encrypted Control of Physical Access Systems - Physical access systems and methods securely grant physical access to restricted areas in high-volume applications. An electronic device, such as a smartphone, stores a digitally signed physical access rights file. An individual uses this rights file to gain access to a restricted area only after self-authenticating to the device. A physical access control system receives the rights file, validates it, and determines whether to permit passage through a physical barrier. The determination may be made by a physical barrier system, or by a remote access control headend. An access control gateway, which may be an access control headend, may either unlock the physical barrier system when the electronic device is near the physical barrier, or it may transmit an authorization code to the electronic device and the physical barrier system, whereby passage is only permitted if the barrier system subsequently receives the authorization code from the electronic device using near field communications. | 12-01-2011 |
20120159165 | Protecting Computers Using an Identity-Based Router - A router is placed between a protected computer and devices with which the computer communicates, including peripherals and other computers. The router includes a list of authorized devices that are permitted to send data to the protected computer, against which requests to send data are checked. The router also communicates with a remote authentication service to authenticate devices requesting such permission. The authentication service may be a cloud-based identity service. | 06-21-2012 |
20120191615 | Secure Credit Transactions - A system and method for engaging in a credit or debit transaction do not transmit an individual's account number to a vendor or merchant. The individual provides the account number to a transaction acquiring device (TAD). The TAD requires the individual to provide one or more pseudo-random numbers that identify the individual. These numbers are only obtainable from an authentication device that can be unlocked only by passing an authentication challenge. The TAD then provides transaction data to a credit or debit issuer and the vendor, but does not provide or store the account number. The issuer provides the merchant with an identifier other than the account number that is nevertheless unique to the individual. This identifier may be used to track the individual's purchase history or perform other business functions. | 07-26-2012 |
20130046697 | Using Mobile Device to Prevent Theft of User Credentials - Systems and methods are provided to prevent unauthorized credit and debit transactions. A system creates a transactional, or one-time-use PIN in response to a request from a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet computer, belonging to an authorized user. This PIN is securely transmitted to the mobile device, and used in combination with a credit or debit account number to complete the transaction. The user is determined to be authorized by the fact that they are able to access an application on the mobile device that sends the request. The application itself may be protected using a non-changing PIN. | 02-21-2013 |
20130061055 | Apparatus and Methods for Providing Scalable, Dynamic, Individualized Credential Services Using Mobile Telephones - A virtual smartcard and methods for creating the same are provided. A virtual smartcard is a set of computer-implemented processes, associated with an individual, which simulate the behavior of a physical smartcard or other authentication token containing a hardware security module. In one embodiment, a computer receives credential data derived from the physical credential and authentication data pertinent to the individual such as a biometric imprint, and creates a virtual smartcard by storing the credential data in association with the authentication data in a network storage. The credential data may later be used for identification and encryption purposes upon the individual providing the authentication data to the network storage, even if the physical credential itself has been lost. Thus, the virtual smartcard provides a network-based method for backing up a passport, driver's license, credit card, public transportation card, or other such identification card or device. | 03-07-2013 |
20140304523 | Protecting Computers Using an Identity-Based Router - A router is placed between a protected computer and devices with which the computer communicates, including peripherals and other computers.
