Patent number: 7089417Abstract: A method of providing cryptographic information and flow control includes first determining a target domain from an IP address. An organization policy is looked up from a credential store, and an algorithm and credentials specified for the target domain are looked up in a domain-credential map. Any further credentials that are provided and that are permitted by the organizational policy are added. A working key is then generated, and information is received in the form of a receive packet. Any packet header is stripped from the receive packet and the remaining data is encrypted. Key splits are retrieved from the credential store, and are combined to form a key-encrypting key. The working key is the encrypted with the key-encrypting key, and a CKM header is encrypted. The encrypted CKM header is concatenated to the beginning of the encrypted data to form transmit data, and the packet header and the transmit data are concatenated to form a transmit packet.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2003Date of Patent: August 8, 2006Assignee: TECSEC, Inc.Inventors: C. Jay Wack, Edward M. Scheidt, Jeffrey K. Morris

Patent number: 7079653Abstract: A cryptographic key split combiner includes a number of key split generators for generating cryptographic key splits from seed data, and a key split randomizer for randomizing the key splits to produce a cryptographic key. The key split generators can include a random split generator for generating random key splits, a token split generator for generating token key splits based on label data, a console split generator for generating console key splits based on maintenance data, a biometric split generator for generating biometric key splits based on biometric data, and a location split generator for generating location key splits based on location data. Label data can be read from storage, and can include user authorization data. A process for forming cryptographic keys includes randomizing or otherwise binding the splits to form the key.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2002Date of Patent: July 18, 2006Assignee: Tecsec, Inc.Inventors: Edward M.

Patent number: 7069448Abstract: A system provides cryptographic processing of input data on a parallel processor array that includes plural processors. A format filter extracts control and main data from the input data. A control unit receives the control data, and based on the control data, forwards control and cryptographic parameters to the processors. A first distributor distributes to each processor at least a portion of the main data. A second distributor receives output information from each processor, and based thereon, generates output data. Each processor generates output information based on the control and cryptographic parameters. The output data is a cryptographic processing result.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2002Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignee: Tecsec, Inc.Inventors: Mark A. Odell, Edward Scheidt, C. Jay Wack

Patent number: 6885747Abstract: A cryptographic key split combiner, which includes a number of key split generators for generating cryptographic key splits and a key split randomizer for randomizing the cryptographic key splits to produce a cryptographic key, and a process for forming cryptographic keys. Each of the key split generators generates key splits from seed data. The key split generators may include a random split generator for generating a random key split based on reference data. Other key split generators may include a token split generator for generating a token key split based on label data, a console split generator for generating a console key split based on maintenance data, and a biometric split generator for generating a biometric key split based on biometric data.

Publication number: 20020062451Abstract: A process of checking the authorization and authenticity of an application provided by a user includes authenticating an application authentication file against a domain administrator's public membership key. An application executable is then hashed, and the application hash result is compared to an authentication hash contained in the application authentication file. At this point, services are denied to the application if the application hash and the authentication hash do not match. Configuration assignments in the application authentication file are decoded if the application hash and the authentication hash match. The decoded configuration assignments are compared to the user's configuration assignments. Services are provided to the application if the result of the decode is favorable. Services are denied to the application if the result of the decode is not favorable.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2001Publication date: May 23, 2002Inventors: Edward M. Scheidt, C. Jay Wack
