  • Patent number: 11082211
    Abstract: Systems and methods with multiple different modes for bidirectional data transfer of messages encrypted with Random Cipher Pads (RCPs) are disclosed. A direct mode is from one single endpoint to another endpoint in a peer-to-peer fashion. A throughput mode may be configured as a communication between endpoints with a cryptographic data server (CDS) managing communications and additional encryption between the endpoints. The CDS further encrypts the messages such that there is a peer-to-peer encryption between the source endpoint and the CDS and a different peer-to-peer encryption between the CDS and destination endpoints. The throughput mode may also be configured as a broadcast communication between a sender and multiple destinations, each with its own different RCP encryption. A router-to-router mode may be thought of as a specific type of peer-to-peer transfer where the peers on each end are routers, servers, Virtual Private Network servers, and gateways rather than user endpoints.

  • Patent number: 10855459
    Abstract: Systems and methods include modifying a Tme Random Number (TRN) pool using one or more user-identified randomization processes to produce a modified TRN pool with a user-specific modification that is unknown to or otherwise separated from a TRN provider. Systems and methods also include sending and receiving encrypted messages that are encrypted and decrypted using the modified TRN pool.

  • Patent number: 10637649
    Abstract: Methods for a server include defining a starting element and an element step size. A pad mapping is applied to a data Random Cipher Pad (RCP) to obtain a Key RCP using each element of the Data RCP once in a predetermined non-sequential order. The starting element and the element step size are combined with the Data RCP. The Data RCP is encrypted using the Key RCP to produce a subsequent Data RCP. The subsequent Data RCP is transmitted to another computer. Methods for clients include applying a pad mapping to a Data RCP to obtain a Key RCP using each element of the Data RCP once in a predetermined non-sequential order to develop the Key RCP. The Key RCP is encrypted using the Data RCP to produce a subsequent Key RCP. A data structure is encrypted using the Data RCP to produce an encrypted data structure.
