  • Patent number: 11240033
    Abstract: A method includes determining a password-length threshold. The password-length threshold may comprise an integer. The method also includes obtaining, for a first user, a set of nucleotide locations. The number of nucleotide locations in the set may be greater than or equal to the integer. The method also includes obtaining a first sample of the user's DNA. The method also includes determining, in the first sample, a nucleotide at each nucleotide location in the set of nucleotide locations, resulting in a first nucleotide-password sequence. The method also includes performing a one-way hashing operation on the first nucleotide-password sequence with a first hashing algorithm, resulting in a first hashed password.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8190545
    Abstract: A system thinker application receives a first issue, a first resolution to the first issue, and a first plurality of skills. The system thinker application searches a system environment electronic profile for a second issue, a second resolution to the second issue, and a second plurality of skills, wherein the system environment electronic profile contains a plurality of component profiles, and wherein the plurality of component profiles contain a second issue, a second resolution to the second issue, and a second plurality of skills. The system thinker application determines if the first issue, the first resolution to the first issue, and any one of the first plurality of skills are similar to any one of the second issue, the second resolution to the second issue, and any one of the second plurality of skills. The system thinker application adds skills to the system environment electronic profile and the component profile.
