Patents by Inventor Arnold G. Reinhold

Arnold G. Reinhold has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11457001
    Abstract: A system for encryption includes a message management module (MMM); a restricted secret server (RSS) including a restricted secret server network interface (RSS-NI) connected to the MMM and including at least one very large key (VLK) module. The system uses Terakey™ an encryption system whose intrinsic security can be demonstrated from first principles, without making assumptions about the computational difficulty of mathematical problems, such as factoring large integers or computing logarithms in finite groups. It employs a key that is much larger than the anticipated volume of message traffic. The large size of the key also reduces the risk of side channel attacks and facilitates realistic security measures to maintain a secure chain of custody for the key.

  • Patent number: 10873458
    Abstract: A system and method for storing and accessing password verification data on multi-user computer systems that prevents remote attacks. Along with commonly-employed measures that limit the number of unsuccessful attempts to login or otherwise verify a password, it allows users to choose relatively simple passwords with full security. The secret component cannot be easily leaked or exfiltrated does not require periodic backup and is isolated in a way that allows it to be protected by conventional security measures such as safes, alarm systems and video surveillance from attackers who somehow gain access to the computing facility.

  • Patent number: 4577344
    Abstract: A system for sensing, processing and analyzing images includes a camera assembly for sensing a workpiece image and generating video signals representing the sensed images. The video signals are fed through a multiplexer to a vision processor and a display. The video signals are preprocessed and stored in the vision processor which has a shared memory. A computer controller, which has access to the shared memory via a common bus, controls operation of the vision processor in response to command signals from peripheral devices. The controller generates data signals for presenting the sensed images on a display and controlling external devices in response to the visual characteristics of the workpiece.
