  • Patent number: 11836255
    Abstract: A method includes building a firmware image to execute on a bootloader of a system on chip (SoC), the firmware image including first encryption public and private keys, and digitally signing the firmware image with a second encryption private key. The signed firmware image is encrypted with a symmetric encryption key, which in turn is encrypted with a second encryption public key. The encrypted signed firmware image and the encrypted symmetric encryption key are sent to the SoC to cause the SoC to (1) decrypt the encrypted symmetric encryption key to produce the symmetric encryption key using a third encryption private key from a first asymmetric key pair, (2) decrypt the encrypted signed firmware image to produce the signed firmware image using the symmetric encryption key, and (3) verify a digital signature of the signed firmware image using a third encryption public key from a second asymmetric key pair.

  • Patent number: 11831765
    Abstract: A system with methods to enhance key strength for a quantum shared key which is derived by a conventional quantum key distribution protocol and the system provides a single optical communication channel with security protection mechanism for key distribution without relying on an authenticated public classical channel. The system is implemented with technology in combination of key-strength enhancement, re-encoding operation, density-matrix verification, and grating control for a single optical communication channel where the system can be integrated with a conventional Quantum-Key-Distribution protocol such as BB84 or B92, but excluding GHz-clocked QKD system. Thereby, the system can help a known QKD system to overcome current drawbacks of an apparatus implemented over a conventional QKD protocol so as to derive an enhanced quantum shared key.

  • Patent number: 11799646
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of encrypting a data signal for providing to an input of a radio frequency transmitter, such as modulated baseband signals in the physical layer for wireless transmission. The method comprises receiving the data signal comprising one or more first frequency components with a first phase profile in a frequency band of interest; applying a dispersive encrypting signal filter to the data signal to generate an encrypted data signal comprising the one or more frequency components with a second phase profile, wherein the second phase profile is different to the first phase profile. Decryption is achieved by applying a decrypting filter to the encrypted data signal to substantially reverse the effect of the encrypting filter and recover the first phase profile.

  • Patent number: 11789699
    Abstract: A set of measurable encrypted feature vectors can be derived from any biometric data and/or physical or logical user behavioral data, and then using an associated deep neural network (“DNN”) on the output (i.e., biometric feature vector and/or behavioral feature vectors, etc.) an authentication system can determine matches or execute searches on encrypted data. Behavioral or biometric encrypted feature vectors can be stored and/or used in conjunction with respective classifications, or in subsequent comparisons without fear of compromising the original data. In various embodiments, the original behavioral and/or biometric data is discarded responsive to generating the encrypted vectors. In other embodiment, helper networks can be used to filter identification inputs to improve the accuracy of the models that use encrypted inputs for classification.
