Patent number: 7739501Abstract: A computer program product, for producing a cryptographic key label for use in exchanging information between first and second organizations of members, resides on a computer-readable medium includes computer-readable instructions configured to cause a computer to: produce a read-write cryptographic key using at least one base value; produce a write-only cryptographic key using the read-write cryptographic key; combine a first identifier, uniquely associated with the first organization, and a second identifier, uniquely associated with the key label to be produced, using a one-way function to produce a pedigree; and associate the pedigree with the read-write key and the write-only key to form the cryptographic key label.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2005Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: InfoAssure, Inc.Inventors: Gerald D. Kimmel, Ersin L. Domangue

Patent number: 7715565Abstract: A system for encrypting a data encryption key includes a key encryption key generator configured to receive a public portion of a label, the label including an asymmetric key pair of the public portion and a private portion, the key encryption key generator being further configured to process the public portion of the label to obtain a key encryption key, and a data encryption key encoder configured to receive the key encryption key from the key encryption key generator and to receive a data encryption key from a random number generator, the encoder being further configured to encrypt the data encryption key using the key encryption key to produce an encrypted data encryption key and to provide the encrypted data encryption key to an encryption device.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2005Date of Patent: May 11, 2010Assignee: InfoAssure, Inc.Inventors: Gerald D. Kimmel, Ersin L. Domangue, Francis J. Adamouski

Publication number: 20030172280Abstract: The invention uses symmetric key cryptography for secrecy. Role-based access controls are implemented with the use of labeled splits that are combined to generate the keys used in symmetric key cryptographic algorithms. Strong user authentication is realized with CKM technology in the form of user passwords, biometric data, and tokens, such as a supercard. Data separation, with labeling and algorithm selection, provides functionality comparable to physical separation. CKM technology lends itself to data-at-rest that may be defined as objects that exist for some time, such as computer files, databases, e-mail messages, etc. However, CKM is also suited for channel or pipeline transmitted data. CKM technology can be extended beyond applications into lower levels of a network protocol, e.g., in IEEE 802 protocols or at level 2 in the OSI model of networking. The CKM encryption protocol to establish the session key for the channel can be adapted to the parameters of the communications environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2002Publication date: September 11, 2003Inventors: Edward M. Scheidt, Ersin L. Domangue

Patent number: 6490680Abstract: A process of encrypting an object includes applying a hash algorithm to the object, generating a random number, combining a first plurality of splits including the random number to form a working split, encrypting the object using the working split, combining a second plurality of splits not including the random number to form a value, encrypting the random number using the value, encrypting the hashed object according to a signature algorithm using a user private key, encrypting the hashed object according to a selected algorithm using the working split as a key, forming a header including information that can be used to decrypt the object, encrypting the header, and adding the encrypted header to the encrypted object. The pluralities of splits include a fixed split, a variable split, and a label split corresponding to a selected label. The header includes the encrypted random number, a label, and a digital signature.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 1998Date of Patent: December 3, 2002Assignee: TecSec IncorporatedInventors: Edward M.
