  • Patent number: 11822696
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, systems and computer program products leveraging collection and analysis of anonymized biological data, location data, individual IDs and time data from groups of individuals within a surrounding environment. The anonymized data can be combined with sources of map data and available historical data to help provide context about the surrounding environment of the users and stored for analysis and decision-making that physically impacts and alters the surrounding environment. At periodic or sporadic intervals, the collected data is extracted and analyzed. Based on the analysis of the anonymized data, physical changes are dynamically implemented within the physical environment, including remotely altering the physical environment by instructing changes to surrounding environment over a computer network such as modifying one or more settings of IoT devices positioned within the surrounding environment analyzed.

  • Patent number: 11809582
    Abstract: The present innovative solution solves the problem of managing secure documents so that they can be verified, and protected from tampering and illegal printing. A legal document is converted to a secure document by embedding into the legal document one or more security codes that have been encrypted with a standard of proprietary cryptographic algorithm. The security codes are supplemented by a QR code associated with the archive location of each page of the secure document, and stored at a server or database. The security codes stored in the document and can be printed together with the document, as a form of watermark, using UV-sensitive ink or toner at a security printer. The security codes are encrypted and can be printed on varying locations in the secure document pages, which are defined in a geolocation template, separately transmitted in encrypted format.

  • Patent number: 11811747
    Abstract: A method for delegated authorization at a service communications proxy (SCP) includes intercepting, from a consumer network function (NF) that does not support access token based authorization, a service based interface (SBI) request. The method further includes operating as an access token authorization client to obtain a first access token on behalf of the consumer NF. The method further includes using the first access token to enable the consumer NF to access the service provided by a first producer NF that requires access-token-based authorization. The SCP may also function as an access token authorization server on behalf of an NRF that does not support access-token-based authorization.

  • Patent number: 11748524
    Abstract: An obfuscation circuit relies on a tamper-resistant nonvolatile memory which encodes a trusted Boolean function. The Boolean function is used to enable several operations relating to circuit obfuscation, including obfuscation of logic circuitry, obfuscation of operand data, and release of IP blocks. The tamper-resistant nonvolatile memory is part of a trusted integrated circuit structure, i.e., one fabricated by a trusted foundry, separate from another integrated circuit structure which contains the various operational logic circuits of the design and is fabricated by an untrusted foundry. The Boolean function is encoded based on a look-up table implemented as a cascaded multiplexer circuit. Multiple obfuscation functions can be so encoded. The obfuscation functions may be reprogrammed using a protocol that relies on symmetric keys, one of which is stored in the tamper-resistant nonvolatile memory.
