  • Cryptographic key generation using external entropy generation
    Patent number: 11128457
    Abstract: Generation of a cryptographic key using one of multiple possible entropy generation components that may provide input entropy. A key generation component provides an interface that exposes one or more characteristics for input entropy to be used to generate a cryptographic key. For applications that are more sensitive to improper key discovery, higher degrees of input entropy may be used to guard against key discovery. During key generation, the key generation component connects with an appropriate entropy generation component via the interface. For instance, the entropy generation component may be selected or adjusted so that it does indeed provide the input entropy meeting the characteristics described by the interface. The key generation component receives the input entropy via the interface, and then uses the input entropy to generate the cryptographic key.

  • Fitting 3D models of composite objects
    Patent number: 11127225
    Abstract: A method of fitting a three dimensional (3D) model to input data is described. Input data comprises a 3D scan and associated appearance information. The 3D scan depicts a composite object having elements from at least two classes. A texture model is available which, given an input vector, computes, for each of the classes, a texture and a mask. A joint optimization is computed to find values of the input vector and values of parameters of the 3D model, where the optimization enforces that the 3D model, instantiated by the values of the parameters, gives a simulated texture which agrees with the input data in a region specified by the mask associated with the 3D model; such that the 3D model is fitted to the input data.
