Patent number: 9385996Abstract: Data is stored on a computing device in an encrypted form using a control application. A data access application requests access to the data. It is determined whether the data access application has available a shared encryption key that is available to the control application. If a shared encryption key is available, the shared encryption key is used to encrypt a request for access to the data. If a shared encryption key is not available, a shared encryption key is negotiated with the control application, and the negotiated shared encryption key is used to encrypt the request for access to the data. The control application receives the encrypted request, decrypts the encrypted request using the shared encryption key, and makes the data stored on the computing device in encrypted form available to the data access application in response to the decrypted request.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2013Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: Good Technology CorporationInventors: Sean Michael Quinlan, Kevin Charles Lohman, Haniff Somani, Peter Maximilian Barker, Nicholas Benedict Van Someren

Publication number: 20040268339Abstract: A system for validating firmware, for example in an embedded computer system, includes means within the embedded system (10) for returning an authentication code in dependence upon the firmware (18) itself and the value of an external challenge. A user (24) receives the authentication code from the system (10) and checks it against a check authentication code created by an agent (28), computer algorithm or trusted third party who knows what firmware should be present. The user (24) accepts the firmware as valid if the response from the system (10) and the agent (28) agree. The firmware is compressed and the rest of the memory (14) filled with random data (36) to prevent an attacker storing spoofing code within the memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2004Publication date: December 30, 2004Inventors: Nicholas Benedict Van Someren, Ian Nigel Harvey

Publication number: 20030219121Abstract: A method and apparatus for the generation and use of a biometric cryptographic key to secure and retrieve data that involves combining a random key and the biometric information to generate a template, such that the cryptographic key needed to retrieve the data cannot be obtained from the combination unless the identical user submits his or her biometric information during a subsequent biometric scan at which time the cryptographic key is generated from a combination of the stored template and the scan, allowing the secured data to be released and/or decrypted. Thus, if the system containing the secured data were compromised it would be virtually impossible to decrypt the data because not enough information resides on the system to re-construct the cryptographic key.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2002Publication date: November 27, 2003Applicant: nCipher Corporation, LtdInventor: Nicholas Benedict van Someren
