Patent number: 12647402Abstract: The techniques herein are directed generally to a “zero-knowledge” data management network. Users are able to share verifiable proof of data and/or identity information, and businesses are able to request, consume, and act on the data—all without a data storage server or those businesses ever seeing or having access to the raw sensitive information (where server-stored data is viewable only by the intended recipients, which may even be selected after storage). In one embodiment, source data is encrypted with a source encryption key (e.g., source public key), with a rekeying key being an encrypting combination of a source decryption key (e.g., source private key) and a recipient's public key. Without being able to decrypt the data, the storage server can use the rekeying key to re-encrypt the source data with the recipient's public key, to then be decrypted only by the corresponding recipient using its private key, accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2022Date of Patent: June 2, 2026Assignee: Journey.aiInventors: Brett Shockley, Alexander John Shockley, Michael Joseph Frendo, Shmuel Shaffer, Kenneth Keiter, James M.

Patent number: 12335239Abstract: The techniques herein are directed generally to personalized secure communication session management, such as for virtual private networks (VPNs). In one embodiment, a user is authenticated at a client device to verify that the user is present at the client device and authorized to access one or more secured resources, and in response, a secure communication session is established for the client device to access the secured resources. At a later time during the secure communication session, it is determined whether the user is still authenticated at the client device, such that if so, access to the one or more secured resources is maintained on the secure communication session, or else access is restricted to the one or more secured resources (e.g., the session is terminated, or access is otherwise limited).Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2023Date of Patent: June 17, 2025Assignee: Journey.aiInventors: Michael Joseph Frendo, Robert Taylor Bartlett, Alexander John Shockley, James M.
