Abstract: Firearms being used by non-authorized individuals have been the cause of the death of many innocent people. Guns and rifles are relatively easy to obtain illegally though black markets or by stealing from relatives and acquaintances of registered firearm owners and there is no adequate methods of restricting their operation after they are not controlled by the owner. The current disclosure describes an apparatus and system for remotely monitoring the location, movement and operational status of a firearm and report the status to the firearm owner. Alternatively, the system will track the firearms location and status and report to a central authority when the firearm is fired. This method of operation can be used to notify a central authority to provide backup for an officer under fire. Shots fired and shots heard are detected using acoustic time of flight and sound signature analysis. The detection apparatus being contained within the firearm.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enciphering data are provided. In one embodiment, information is enciphered using a variable block length cipher that returns the encrypted symbol set in the same format as the plaintext symbol set. The cipher can be based on DES, AES or other block ciphers. In one example implementation a method for enciphering token information the invention provides for enciphering token information by constructing a tweak of a defined length using token information; converting the tweak to a bit string of a defined size to form a first parameter; converting a number of digits of plaintext to a byte string of a defined size to form a second parameter, wherein the number of digits converted varies; defining a data encryption standard key; applying the data encryption standard key to the first and second parameters; computing a specified number of encryption rounds; and receiving enciphered token information.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing token transactions are provided. In one embodiment, the invention provides for processing token transactions, including receiving an encrypted password for a debit card transaction, wherein the password was secured using encrypted debit-card information, decrypting the password using encrypted debit-card information for the debit card, recreating the password using actual debit-card information for the debit card, and forwarding the recreated password for subsequent transaction processing. The invention is suitable for implementation with other types of tokens in addition to debit-card tokens as well. The invention can be implemented in a scenario where the password includes a PIN block that is created by combining a clear or encrypted PIN for the token with token information.
