Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for the provisioning of secure keys to an application. A first globally-unique value of a plurality of globally-unique values is received via a user interface of the application. The first globally-unique value and an application identifier of the application is provided to a computing system via a network. The computing system is configured to determine a second globally-unique value and a third globally-unique value associated with the first globally-unique value based on the application identifier. The second globally-unique value is then received via the user interface. The second globally-unique value is designated as a first secure key. The first secure key is stored in a first location of a memory of the computing device allocated for the application. A third globally-unique value is received via the user interface. The third globally-unique value is designated as a buffer key.
Abstract: Embodiments described herein are configured for the provision of secure keys and the applications enabled thereby. For instance, an application may read in a first globally-unique value of a pair of globally-unique values from a physically-implemented machine-readable format. The application provides the first globally-unique value, along with a globally-unique identifier of the application, to a database. The database determines a globally-unique value associated with the first globally-unique value, designates the associated globally-unique value as a secure key, and associates the secure key with the application using the application's globally-unique identifier. The application then instructs a user to read in the second globally-unique value from a physically-implemented machine-readable format, which should match the globally-unique value determined by the database of the pair, and designates the second globally-unique value as the secure key.
Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for secure communications in a communications system through a secure database (SDB) using random numbers including, one-time use random number cipher keys.
Abstract: Systems, devices, apparatuses, and methods are described for providing robust RFID security and secure targeted information dissemination. Randomized identifiers for RFID tags associated with products for sale are read by readers of user devices having their own randomized identifiers. Information relating to the products is provided to the user devices by information retrieval systems without exposing information related to the user device or a user thereof. Information security is provided through the use of the randomized identifiers that act as proxies or surrogates for users and user devices. Based on the products and associated RFID tags read by the user device, a retailer or manufacturer provides targeted advertising and sales incentives to the user device through the information retrieval system.
Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for integrated circuit controlled ejection system (ICCES) for massively parallel integrated circuit assembly (MPICA). A unique Integrated Circuit (IC) die ejection head assembly system is described, which utilizes Three-Dimensional (3D) printing to achieve very high resolution manufacturing to meet the precision tolerances required for very small IC die sizes.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to the manufacturing of tag devices, authenticating such devices, authorizing a tag reader apparatus to read tag devices external to the tag reader apparatus, and enabling an authorized tag reader apparatus to form a secured network comprising a plurality of devices, each of which comprise a tag device. The secured network may be formed by simply reading tag devices associated with consumer devices that a user desires to be in the secured network using the authorized tag reader apparatus. The random identification numbers associated with the plurality of consumer devices' tag devices may be used to retrieve instructions that are implemented by the consumer device(s) to form/configure the secured network. The authorized tag reader apparatus is the only device that is enabled to subsequently configure/reconfigure the network and/or the devices included therein, thereby securing the network for use only by the authorized tag reader apparatus.
