Patent number: 8646684Abstract: A method for providing messaging between a portable device and base device is provided. The method included communicating one or more message codes maintained in the portable device to the base device. The base device then composes a message for a user of the portable device using a dictionary of message codes. The message codes have corresponding message values, which are used to generate the message for the one or more message codes. The generated message is then provided to the user.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2011Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Visa U.S.A.

Patent number: 6178504Abstract: An international cryptography framework (ICF) is provided that allows manufacturers to comply with varying national laws governing the distribution of cryptographic capabilities. In particular, such a framework makes it possible to ship worldwide cryptographic capabilities in all types of information processing devices (e.g. printers, palm-tops). The ICF comprises a set of service elements which allow applications to exercise cryptographic functions under the control of a policy. The four core elements of the ICF architecture, i.e. the host system, cryptographic unit, policy activation token, and network security server, comprise an infrastructure that provides cryptographic services to applications. Applications that request cryptographic services from various service elements within the ICF are identified through a certificate to protect against misuse of a granted level of cryptography.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 1998Date of Patent: January 23, 2001Assignee: Cheyenne Property Trust c/o Data Securities International, Inc.Inventors: Helmut Fieres, Roger Merckling, Keith Klemba

Patent number: 5841870Abstract: An international cryptography framework (ICF) allows manufacturers to comply with varying national laws governing the distribution of cryptographic capabilities. The invention is concerned primarily with the application certification aspects of the framework where an application that requests cryptographic services from the ICF service elements is identified through some form of certificate to protect against the misuse of a granted level of cryptography. The levels of cryptography granted are described via security policies and expressed as classes of service. A cryptographic unit, one of the ICF core elements, can be used to build several certification schemes for application objects. The invention provides various methods that determine the strength of binding between an application code image and the issued certificates within the context of the ICF elements.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1996Date of Patent: November 24, 1998Assignee: Cheyenne Property TrustInventors: Helmut Fieres, Roger Merckling, Keith Klemba

Patent number: 5835596Abstract: A cryptographic framework consists of four basic service elements that include a national flag card, a cryptographic unit, a host system, and a network security server. Three of the four service elements have a fundamentally hierarchical relationship. The National Flag Card (NFC) is installed into the Cryptographic Unit (CU) which, in turn, is installed into a Host System (HS). Cryptographic functions on the Host System cannot be executed without a Cryptographic Unit, which itself requires the presence of a valid National Flag Card before it's services are available. The fourth service element, a Network Security Server (NSS), can provide a range of different security services including verification of the other three service elements. The framework addresses national policies governing cryptography, where such policies can be independently developed and maintained using a such a framework.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 1997Date of Patent: November 10, 1998Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Keith S. Klemba, Roger Merckling
