  • Patent number: 12645784
    Abstract: A system for offline generation of digital assets includes: a security credential management system (SCMS) that is operable to generate and conditionally transmit digital assets; and a certificate authority communicatively connected to the SCMS by a communication network, the certificate authority being operable to receive the digital assets from the SCMS. The certificate authority is operable to securely provision a plurality of computerized devices based on the received digital assets, the certificate authority intermittently connects to the SCMS to receive the digital assets, the certificate authority is operable to securely provision the plurality of computerized devices while disconnected from the SCMS, and the provisioning by the certificate authority while disconnected from the SCMS is limited by a policy associated with the certificate authority.

  • Publication number: 20250373599
    Abstract: A system for securely accessing a target computer using high entropy security information stored in a password manager including a user computer configured to execute instructions to perform operations including receiving password manager access information and a retrieval key, accessing the password manager using the password manager access information, receiving the high entropy security information provided by a generator computer, storing the high entropy security information in the password manager, in association with the retrieval key, supplying the retrieval key to retrieve the high entropy security information that was stored in the password manager, and providing the high entropy security information. The target computer receives the high entropy security information provided by the user computer, and provides access to the target computer when the high entropy security information is verified.

  • Patent number: 11586709
    Abstract: Systems, methods and devices are provided for provisioning a computerized device. The system may include a distributor computer that is connected to the computerized device and is operable to receive a first digital asset and transmit it to the computerized device, and a server that is connected to the distributor computer, and that transmits the first digital asset to the distributor computer when a first authorizing condition is met, the first digital asset being configured to cause the computerized device to become partially provisioned, wherein the server transmits a second digital asset to the computerized device, and the computerized device is functional after the second digital asset is transmitted to the computerized device.

  • Patent number: 11580237
    Abstract: A system for securely producing and using high-entropy security information, such as a password. The system includes a printer, a display device, and a generator computer that is connected to the printer and the display device. The generator computer generates the high-entropy set of characters, (e.g., password), and also generates a machine-readable representation of the high-entropy set of characters, (e.g., a barcode). The generator computer causes the printer to print the high-entropy set of characters and the machine-readable representation on paper, and then deletes the high-entropy set of characters and the machine-readable representation from the system. The high-entropy set of characters, (e.g., password), may be entered into a target computer by scanning the barcode on the paper using a barcode scanner connected to the target computer, which is significantly faster than, and eliminates the human error associated with, typing in a high-entropy set of characters.
