  • Patent number: 10769265
    Abstract: A computer system, method, and computer readable product are provided for managing passwords using steganography. In various embodiments, a computing system provides a password manager that a user provides a password to. The user then selects a service for which credentials will be generated or stored, and an image on the user's device that will be used to steganographically store the credentials. The computing system then generates a steganographic image that includes the credentials and stores that image with the other images on the user's device.

  • Patent number: 10248701
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method wherein a database query including a first constraint and additional constraint(s) are received in a first node. Data in the first node that satisfies the first constraint is identified, encoded, and sent to a second node. Encoded data is identified in a mapping table in the second node; and, one or more missing identifiers are identified that include encoded data that is not in the mapping table. The missing identifier is sent to the first node, decoded to retrieve the value of the missing identifier, and mapped to the retrieved value. The mapping of the missing identifier and the retrieved value are sent to the second node. A dictionary in the second node is queried with the retrieved value to identify an identification number for the retrieved value. The missing identifier is mapped to the identification number for the retrieved value.
