  • Patent number: 11361069
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving an original message from a trusted execution environment. The original message includes an original digital signature authored by the trusted execution environment. The method includes computing a proof of knowledge for the original digital signature and modifying the original message by replacing the original digital signature with the proof of knowledge.

  • Patent number: 11296875
    Abstract: A method for cryptographic key provisioning includes, via a main authentication server (MAS), generating a first secret key and registering a client by performing a first portion of a first instance of a distributed threshold oblivious pseudo-random function. The first instance of the function results in the client obtaining a root secret key and the MAS obtaining a corresponding root public key. The method includes authenticating the client to the MAS by performing a first portion of a second instance of the distributed threshold oblivious pseudo-random function. The second instance of the function results in the client obtaining the root secret key. Information stored by the client, the first secret key, and a second secret key generated by a support authentication server are inputs to at least one of the first and second instances of the distributed threshold oblivious pseudo-random function.
