  • Publication number: 20240073011
    Abstract: A secure digital network environment is provided by integrating OTP keys as part of quantum-safe data systems solutions (QPN Solutions), including the use of one-time-pad (OTP) keys to encrypt data, support multi-factor authentication and secure all communications between devices in the secure digital network environment. The OTP keys are “pre-loaded” to endpoint (EP) devices to render them quantum-safe (QS) when connected into the secure digital network environment, or are otherwise provided through removable media to be loaded into user supplied appliances, devices and accessories to render them QS when connected into the secure digital network environment. The application of QPN Solutions refers to the application of QPN enabled technologies to provide a secure digital network environment includes risk assessment and management solutions for establishing and managing cyber security insurable risks and policies.

  • Patent number: 10930449
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electric switch for electric appliances. The electric switch include a switch housing, an actuating element, and a plug socket. The actuating element is configured to switch a contact system accommodated in the switch housing by movement between a switch-off position and a switch-on position. The plug socket is non-detachably connected to the switch housing. Electrical connections of the contact system are held in the plug socket such that ends of the electrical connections are in predetermined positions.
