  • Patent number: 9563762
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating an identifier for identifying a pair, wherein the pair comprises a cryptographic device and a computer system (1, 2, . . . , i, . . . I), wherein the cryptographic device has a first secret key, wherein a second secret key (118.i) is associated with the computer system, wherein a blocking system (120) for accessing the second secret key of the computer system is provided, wherein the blocking system has a third secret key, and wherein the following steps are carried out for generating the identifier: generating a second public key (116.i) from the second secret key and a third public key (128) associated with the third secret key by means of the blocking system, transmitting the second public key (116.i) to the computer system (i), and generating the identifier from the first secret key and the second public key, using the cryptographic device.

  • Patent number: 7992670
    Abstract: A motor vehicle having a unit, particularly a drive assembly, which is operated by a fuel that is cryogenically stored in a vehicle tank, is provided, in which fuel is heated by a heat exchange with a warmer medium. The fuel taken from the vehicle tank comes in contact with the cold side of a thermoelectric generator, particularly in the form of a Seebeck element, in order to generate electric current for the electric power supply of the vehicle. The warm side of the thermoelectric generator is preferably acted upon by the warmer medium also used for the heat exchange with the cold fuel, in which case the thermoelectric generator may be integrated in a heat exchanger for the heat exchange between the fuel taken and the warmer medium.
