  • Patent number: 11811939
    Abstract: A system and method for authenticating an application that employs cryptographic keys and functions is provided with white box cryptography employed to secure the application, and to secure communications with the application. The white box includes a transformation of the application and the keys. A secure channel between the white box and a crypto token is used for communications. In some cases, the transformed keys can be employed in authenticating the white box to the crypto token. The presence of a valid crypto token can be periodically determined. In the presence of a valid crypto token, the white box can provide a verifiable message to a remote server. The remote server can verify the message and initiate a service.

  • Patent number: 11677548
    Abstract: A system is provided for distribution of device key sets over a network in a protected software environment (PSE). In the system, a client device includes a connection interface for receiving a crypto hardware (CH) token belonging to a user, untrusted software, a quoting enclave, and a PSE for generating a provisioning request for a device key set. An attestation proxy server (APS) receives the provisioning message using a first network connection, and transmits the provisioning message to an online provisioning server (OPS) using a second network connection. The OPS constructs a provisioning response and an encrypted device key set, and delivers the provisioning response to the untrusted software using the first and second network connections. The PSE decrypts the encrypted device key set to obtain the device key set, re-encrypts the device key set with a local chip-specific key, and stores the re-encrypted device key set.

  • Patent number: 11641277
    Abstract: An external trusted time source is implemented over a network for conditional access system (CAS)/digital rights management (DRM) client devices. A client device includes untrusted software and a trusted execution environment (TEE) for processing an entitlement management message (EMM) that includes an epoch sequence number (ESN) transmitted from an EMM server using a first network connection. A remaining client key set (CKS) lifetime value is stored and updated in the TEE based on the ESN processed.
