Abstract: A method for authenticating a mobile identity (ID) is provided. The mobile ID is provided on an end device of a user. Personal information about the user is first brought into anonymized form via a one-way function known to the end device of the user and to a first entity and transmitted with a single mobile ID certificate to the first entity. A communication exchange between the end device of the user and the first entity is henceforth identified by this mobile ID certificate. At a later point in time, the user is provided a permission option to transmit the personal information in non-anonymized form to the first entity. The first entity uses the then transmitted non-anonymized personal information to check its anonymized form.

Abstract: Techniques for calculating a hash value of a single secure array of memory blocks in a sequential set of dice. The array can be defined by a set of address-size pairs. Each pair provides a pointer by including an address of a memory block and a size of the block. The hash value can be calculated by: for each die that is not the last die, partially applying a hash function, without final padding, to the memory blocks of the secure array in the die to generate a partial digest. And, for the last die, fully applying the hash function, with the final padding, to the memory blocks of the secure array in the last die to generate the hash value of the secure array, which can include adding an accumulation of partial digests to data from the last die as a basis for the generation of the hash value.

Abstract: A system for cyber-attack detection within cyber-physical systems (such as a vehicle). The system operates by obtaining a time-varying analog side-channel signal from components with the cyber-physical system and converting the time-varying analog side-channel signal to a digital side-channel signal. A time-series of system states are then identified based on the digital side-channel signal. The time-series of system states are compared with software states as generated by the cyber-physical system components, such that when the software states are unmatched with the time-series of system states, a side-channel is designated as having a security breach. In such an event, the cyber-physical system is then caused to implement an action based on the side-channel security breach.

Abstract: A system protects personally identifiable information (PII) by implementing an unconventional key management scheme. In this scheme, the system uses a set of keys rather than an individual key for encrypting PII. Different portions of the PII are encrypted using different keys from the set of keys. In this manner, even if a malicious user were to access a key, that key would not give the malicious user the ability to decrypt all of the PII. Additionally, the system generates a new set of keys periodically (e.g., once a month). The system also deletes sets of keys that are too old (e.g., six months old). As a result, even if a malicious user were to access a key, the usefulness of that key would be time limited.

Abstract: Disclosed is an approach to implement a new layer of security within mobile devices using an encryption SDK, which implements a standalone component for applications to encrypt, decrypt, and view sensitive data on the device. A security layer is implemented on the device, wherein the security layer manages encryption for data retrieved onto the device from a cloud-based environment. Encrypted content is then generated at the security layer before storing the encrypted content by receiving the content object from the cloud-based environment and encrypting the content object with an encryption key that is password protected. The encrypted content is stored within an encrypted filesystem for presenting the content on the device.

Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling a Kerberos-based authentication system to provide a client with access to a plurality of unmodifiable components that require plain text passwords. Such an approach enables a user to sign into a distributed computer system using a single password, and access multiple components that require different passwords without the need to enter a second password. By using Kerberos based authentication, passwords are not unnecessarily sent throughout distributed computing system where they may be vulnerable. A proxy key distribution center can be used to manage passwords or other credentials on behalf of various clients, which can be used with various processes discussed herein.

Abstract: A physical card (in some cases without any on-board source of power or computing capabilities) is configured to maintain access information for digital bearer assets. The physical card may include disposed thereon a single address operable to receive digital bearer assets in one or more transactions on a decentralized computing platform, like a blockchain-based decentralized computing platform. Other decentralized computing platforms utilize different address generation protocols, thus preventing use of a single address on those other platforms. A set of addresses is generated, each address corresponding to a given decentralized computing platform. Each address is based on a same underlying key-pair, and a primary address is selected from the set for a given card. The remaining addresses in the set are stored, without storage of the public key or private key, and returned in a response to a request for additional addresses of the currency card.
