  • Publication number: 20220255925
    Abstract: Introduced here are cryptobionic implants designed for implantation within a human body that are capable of facilitating an identity authentication and/or an intent validation process. These cryptobionic implants can be designed to be cryptographically secure. For example, a cryptobionic implant may include a processor configured to encrypt data residing in an internal storage and a transponder configured to transmit the encrypted data to a reader device located outside of the human body for decryption. The reader device (or some other electronic device) may be able to verify the identity of the individual in whom the cryptobionic implant is implanted based on the decrypted data.

  • Publication number: 20190172280
    Abstract: An implant including a platform that performs computations and that is configured to communicate with an external system, and at least one sensor that is connected to the platform and that communicates with the platform, the at least one sensor is configured to sense a biological environment surrounding the implant. The platform is configured to generate a bio-signature that corresponds to the biological environment sensed by the at least one sensor and to utilize the bio-signature to cryptographically secure data provided in the platform. The platform is configured to permit the system to access the data when the at least one sensor senses the biological environment that corresponds to the generated bio-signature, and the platform is configured to deny the system access to the data when the at least one sensor fails to sense the biological environment that corresponds to the generated bio-signature.
