The security function in the client includes (i) display of an authentication screen that may display a telephone number to a border or internal router of a computer network of a business and enables entry of the passkey made up of the telephone number of the user and the alphanumeric code, and (ii) a function that encrypts the passkey and inserts the passkey in the header of each outgoing data packet to the business. | 08-06-2009 |
20090202073 | Random wave envelope derived random numbers and their use in generating transient keys in communication security applications part II - A random wave envelope is created from a set of bounded random numbers by additively combining a triangle, a square and a sine wave. The random wave envelope is then used to create a sequence of wave random numbers from the wave envelope, which are used to generate random-variant keys for encryption in place of the pre-placed encryption key. An ambiguity envelope is thus created over the transmission of data packets as random-variant-keys are used that are distinct and separate for each packet and may also be distinct and separate for each incoming and outgoing packet. The random-variant keys are only created at the time of the actual use for encrypting or decrypting a data packet and not before and then discarded after one time use. The random-variant keys may be used in wireless network using wireless access points, cellular phone and data networks and ad hoc mobile wireless networks. | 08-13-2009 |

20150063568 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A SEQUENCE OF ENCRYPTION KEYS FOR COMMUNICATION SECURITY IN MOBILE WIRELESS DEVICES - A random wave envelope is created from a set of bounded random numbers by additively combining a triangle, a square and a sine wave. The random wave envelope is then used to create a sequence of wave random numbers from the wave envelope, which are used to generate random-variant keys for encryption in place of the pre-placed encryption key. An ambiguity envelope is thus created over the transmission of data packets as random-variant-keys are used that are distinct and separate for each packet and may also be distinct and separate for each incoming and outgoing packet. The random-variant keys are only created at the time of the actual use for encrypting or decrypting a data packet and not before and then discarded after one time use. The random-variant keys may be used in wireless network using wireless access points, cellular phone and data networks and ad hoc mobile wireless networks. | 03-05-2015 |
