Patent number: 11709923Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for location-based automated authentication are disclosed. A system comprises a mobile device, a sensor and a backend platform. The sensor and the backend platform are in network communication. The mobile device is operable to continuously transmit Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signals comprising encrypted transitory identifiers. The sensor is operable to receive a BLE signal from the mobile device when the mobile device is within a predetermined range, and communicate over a network connection the encrypted transitory identifier comprised in the BLE signal to the backend platform. The backend platform is operable to extract a unique identifier and a changing encrypted identifier from the received encrypted transitory identifier, generate a changing encrypted identifier, and validate a user identification by comparing the generated changing encrypted identifier and the extracted changing encrypted identifier.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2021Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: USCONTRACTING, INC.Inventors: William Frederick Haworth, Kevin Austin Maynard, Jeffrey Brader Kidwell

Patent number: 10291599Abstract: A keystroke encryption device (KED) exists between the keyboard and the host computing platform including a host PC. The KED examines keystrokes before they are transmitted to the host PC and asymmetrically encrypts the keystrokes when the KED is turned on. The KED allows the keystrokes to pass through as originally indicated by the user when the KED is turned off. The KED accepts a public key from a server, which decrypts the keystrokes using its own public and private key. The keys and an asymmetric encryption algorithm together provide the means by which each keystroke is encrypted before it enters the host PC.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2016Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: USCONTRACTING, INC.Inventors: William F.
