Patent number: 11728984Abstract: A method, computer program, and computer system is provided for encrypting data or information represented by bits, numbers, used to encode images, text, or audio. For the case of an RGB image encryption applications, the data may be separated into its constituent channels before encryption. In addition to the standard encryption keys, another encryption isokey is generated based on an isounit using an algebraic isofield having a multiplicative identity value different than the number one. On the sender side, each of the channels is encrypted using the standard keys and the generated isokey. On the receiver side, each encrypted channel is decrypted before combining them to obtain the recovered RGB image. In addition to images, the cryptographic algorithm can also be used the encrypt data related to text, audio, and other file types.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: HOWARD UNIVERSITYInventors: Mamadou Ibra Wade, Tepper Gill

Patent number: 11727098Abstract: Systems and methods for enrolling and authenticating a user in an authentication system via a camera of a computing device include capturing and storing biometric information from at least one first image and at least one second image of the user taken via the camera. Prior to use, the user answers personal questions and the answers are stored as stored answer data. Later, such as at a business, the questions are presented to the user and the user provides their personal answers via a computing device. The answers are processed and uploaded to an authentication server where a comparison occurs against the stored answer data. If a match does not occur, then the authentication/identity verification processes ends. If a match does occur, then the authentication process continues. The questions match may serve as a gate function for accessing authentication data stored in a blockchain.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: FaceTec, Inc.Inventor: Kevin Alan Tussy
