Abstract: Subcontracting is a common practice in logistics industry for delivering goods from a consigner to a consignee, meaning that a prime logistics service provider, e.g. a third-party logistics company, usually outsources its contracted logistics service from the consigner to specialized companies to execute individual logistics operations. In the present disclosure, a light-weight privacy protection mechanism is introduced for these enterprises with subcontracting relationships to share logistics track and trace data captured with Auto-ID systems equipped with RFID readers, sensors, or global positioning devices. The mechanism consists of a set of protocols designed for the involved stakeholders to register and cancel subcontracting relationship, to set up and clear outsourced logistics job, to upload, update and clear the job data, to track the job execution progress and trace the job execution history, and a method and system to implement these protocols.

Abstract: A server-assisted computational method for computing the RSA cryptography is delineated in this document. The method enables public-key functions on the resource-constrained devices, such as a mobile phone or a PDA, by leveraging the rich computing resources provided by the server-grade computers on the network. Public-key processing, which is computationally intensive as commonly known, if loaded solely on the constrained device, would easily overwhelm the processor capacity and electrical power supply. The server-assisted method enables such device to drive a powerful server computer on the Internet to carry out the public-key number-crunching job for its sake. Some near-completion results are communicated back to the device. From that, the final public-key cryptograph is derived. Privacy and security are the utmost important considerations in public-key systems. The present invention ensures the privacy of the device by blinding the server of the secret message and the crypto keys of the device.
