Abstract: The present invention relates generally to facilitating secure voice and data communication by way of a commercially available communication device (i.e., smartphone/smartdevice). Specifically, the device and system for pairing a specialized cryptographic device with a non-specialized communication device, wherein the two devices engage in bidirectional communication to facilitate encryption of voice and data for secure transmission over a network. While providing the sensitive cryptographic features for secure communications, the cryptographic device further implements and enforces security policies for the communication device by way if an intermediary native application executed at the communication device. The encryption device is suitably designed to be carried discreetly and may be used in conjunction with a commercially available communication device.

Abstract: In a mobile communication device, multiple sets of sensor measurement data are obtained, each from a corresponding hardware sensor resident on the device. Insufficiently random data is filtered from each of the data sets to produce random data sets which are combined to produce entropy data which is stored in an entropy data cache. An entropy pool is monitored to determine a level of entropy data available and, based on the level determined, entropy data is provided from the entropy data cache to the entropy pool. Entropy data from the entropy pool is then applied to perform a cryptographic operation such as the generation of an encryption key for encrypting communications sent or received by the mobile communication device.

Abstract: A method and system for preventing illiteracy and achieving grade-level literacy in substantially all members of a predetermined set of students is disclosed, including the steps of administering standardized oral fluency measures, recording the test results in a database, calculating a standardized predictive measure of literacy for each student, presenting a report for each student including recommendations of curriculum and instruction time, determining a schedule for each student for repeating the steps of the method during the school year. Aggregate reports show a summary of progress for all the students or for a subset of the students. Teachers are surveyed for information regarding their activities in implementing the method. Supervisors are also surveyed for information regarding their supervisory activities. Reports are prepared from the information collected on such teacher and supervisor surveys. Data entry screens and reports may be provided to teachers and supervisors over the Internet.
