  • Patent number: 11743034
    Abstract: Systems and methods may be used for establishing a link between user identifiers of different systems without disclosing specific user identifying information. One method includes generating a matching relationship based on double encrypted one or more first data sets of a first party system and double encrypted one or more second data sets of a second party system. The matching relationship indicates one or more links between match keys associated with the first party system and the match keys associated with the third party system. The method includes assigning bridge identifiers for user identifiers associated with the first party system and the user identifiers associated with the third party system based on the matching relationship.

  • Patent number: 11727155
    Abstract: Computer code embedded in an electronic component (e.g., a processor, a sensor, etc.) of a medical device, such as a dialysis machine, can be authenticated by comparing a metadata signature derived from the computer code of the electronic component to a key derived from a pre-authenticated code associated with the electronic component. The metadata signature can be derived by running an error-check/error-correct algorithm (e.g., SHA256) on the computer code of the electronic component. A use of the metadata signature enables detection of any unauthorized changes to the computer code as compared to the pre-authenticated code.

  • Patent number: 11676132
    Abstract: Digital or “smart” contracts execute in a blockchain environment. Any entity (whether public or private) may specify a digital contract via a blockchain. Because there may be many digital contracts offered as virtual services, the contract identifier uniquely identifies a particular decision table and/or the digital contract offered by a virtual machine, vendor or supplier. The blockchain is thus not burdened with the programming code that is required to execute the decision table and/or the digital contract. The blockchain need only include or specify the contract identifier (and perhaps one or more contractual parameters), thus greatly simplifying the blockchain and reducing its size (in bytes) and processing requirements.

  • Patent number: 11658815
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, shares related to an output of a function having multiple shares of a secret as input may be computed. In some embodiments, with respect to initial key shares of a key that are collectively held by multiple parties, an output of an arithmetic function (performed on an initial key share of the initial key shares) may be received from each of the multiple parties. The outputs from the multiple parties may be provided as input for a Multi-Party Computation (MPC) process, where the MPC process outputs final key shares in connection with the outputs from the multiple parties being provided as input for the MPC process. With respect to each party of the multiple parties, a final key share of the final key shares may be sent to the party.

  • Patent number: 11658800
    Abstract: A system, method, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium for privacy preserving routing of a data packet. The data packet may comprise a packet header and a data payload; the packet header comprising at least a homomorphically encrypted final destination address of a final destination device. An intermediate routing device may receive the data packet. At the intermediate routing device, in a non-TEE, homomorphic computations may be performed to determine a homomorphically encrypted address of a next intermediate routing device. At the intermediate routing device, in a TEE, one or more secret homomorphic decryption keys may be stored and used to decrypt the homomorphically encrypted address of the next address of the next intermediate routing device. The data packet may be transmitted to the decrypted address of the next intermediate routing device according to an updated packet header with the unencrypted address of the next intermediate routing device in the sequence.

  • Patent number: 11652625
    Abstract: A system and process for performing a touchless key provisioning operation for a communication device. In operation, a key management facility (KMF) imports a public key and a public key identifier uniquely identifying the public key of the communication device. The public key is associated with an asymmetric key pair generated at the communication device during its factory provisioning and configuration. The KMF registers the communication device and assigns a key encryption key (KEK) for the communication device. The KMF then provisions the communication device by deriving a symmetric touchless key provisioning (TKP) key based at least in part on the public key of the communication device, encrypting the KEK with the symmetric TKP key to generate a key wrapped KEK, and transmitting the key wrapped KEK to the communication device for decryption by the communication device.
