Abstract: An encryption scheme is provided in which subset-difference lists are generated by blacklisting subsets corresponding to compromised devices and splitting subset difference lists corresponding to the blacklisted subsets into multiple subset difference lists. In some embodiments, a subset-difference tree is generated. The subset-difference tree includes a plurality of subsets. The subset-difference tree covers a plurality of nodes. Each of the plurality of subsets has an apex node among the plurality of nodes. At least one blacklisted node of the plurality of nodes is determined. A first subset among the plurality of subsets is identified that covers the at least one blacklisted node. A plurality of substitute subsets is determined. Each of the plurality of substitute subsets overlaps the first subset and does not cover the at least one blacklisted node. The plurality of substitute subsets are substituted for the first subset.

Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of storing a broadcast encryption tree comprising a set of cryptographic keys disposed in a hierarchical tree format, distributing a partial set of keys from the broadcast encryption tree to each respective peer from among a group of peers included in a blockchain network, receiving, from a user device, an identification of at least one peer included in the group of peers for processing a blockchain transaction, selecting a subset of keys from among the set of cryptographic keys in the broadcast encryption tree which enables at least one peer to decrypt transactions and doesn't enable the remaining peers included in the group of peers to decrypt transactions, and transmitting broadcast encryption information about the selected subset of keys to the user device for performing encryption of the transactions.

Abstract: A system architecture providing memory encryption suitable for protection against liquid nitrogen and trace probe attacks. In one embodiment, a method of and system for memory encryption are provided. A write request is received at a memory controller. The write request includes first data and a first address. The memory controller is embedded in a CPU and is operatively coupled to memory external to the CPU. The first data are encrypted at the memory controller to generate encrypted first data. The encrypted first data are written to the memory.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to encryption key allocation with additional security elements to lessen vulnerability to certain attacks. In one embodiment, a method and computer program product is provided for broadcast encryption. A key bundle encoded in a non-transient machine-readable medium is received. The key bundle comprises a first cryptographic key and an associated first cryptographic function identifier. Encrypted content is received. A key block corresponding to a subset difference tree is received. A first cryptographic triple function corresponding to the first cryptographic function identifier is determined. The subset difference tree is traversed using the first cryptographic key and the first cryptographic triple function to obtain a content cryptographic key. The content cryptographic key is applied to the encrypted content to obtain decrypted content.
