Abstract: A corner unit for an article of sectional furniture. In an exemplary embodiment, the corner unit includes a frame having a plurality of frame members. The frame may include two internal frame members which are disposed substantially perpendicular to each other. The internal frame members provide rigidity and strength to the frame without requiring other angled cuts and connections for the frame. The frame may also include a cover assembly which provides a seat and at least one storage compartment. The frame members may be interconnected by interlocking protrusions and cutout portions, as well as by threaded fasteners received in push-in connector elements which are held in recesses within the frame members.

Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, and apparati for securely distributing a cryptographic key (C) from a first party(s) to a second party(s). A method embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of combining (steps 1 and 2) the cryptographic key (C) with a transport key (T) to form a key set; encrypting (step 7) the key set to form an encrypted key set; distributing (step 8) the encrypted key set across a medium (3); and decrypting (step 9) the encrypted key set to reconstitute the cryptographic key (C) and the transport key (T).

Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, and apparati for securely distributing a cryptographic key (C) from a first party(s) to a second party(s). A method embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of combining (steps 1 and 2) the cryptographic key (C) with a fresh transport key (T) to form a key set; unfolding (step 10) a previous transport key (T) to form an unfolded transport key (UT); encrypting (step 7) the key set using the unfolded transport key (UT) to form an encrypted key set; distributing (step 8) the encrypted key set across a medium (3); and decrypting (step 9) the encrypted key set using the unfolded transport key (UT) to reconstitute the cryptographic key (C) and the transport key (T).
