Patent number: 12212663Abstract: Embodiments for bounded broadcast encryption key management in a peer-to-peer network are described. To realize bounded broadcast encryption key management, a second peer of the peer-to-peer network receives a first broadcast message from a first peer. The first broadcast message includes at least a public key associated with the first peer. The second peer then generates a key seed in response to receiving the first broadcast message, and creates a second message that includes the key seed encapsulated with the public key. The second peer then transmits the second message to the first peer, and in response to the transmission of the second message, receives a packet from the first peer. The packet includes data encrypted using a secret key derivable from the key seed and one or more portions of the second message.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2022Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignee: GRAPHIANT, INC.Inventors: David Carrel, Stefan Olofsson, Neale Ranns, Ijsbrand Wijnands

Patent number: 11750581Abstract: Embodiments of a secure communication network are disclosed. For secure communication of data packets, a method implemented in a core node, is presented. The method includes receiving a double encapsulated data packet associated with a first layer and a second layer of encapsulation/encryption. The method further includes decapsulating/decrypting a second layer of encapsulation/encryption to access a portion of the data packet and re-encapsulating/re-encrypting at least the accessed portion with another second layer of encapsulation/encryption. The method further includes transmitting the re-encapsulated/re-encrypted data packet to a subsequent node based on the accessed portion.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2021Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: GRAPHIANT, INC.Inventors: David Carrel, Mosaddaq Turabi

Patent number: 10709913Abstract: The present system for fall restraint includes a mounting frame connected to a trigger mechanism and firing blocks, with a trigger cable extending through apertures in the mounting frame and trigger mechanism. Sudden movement by a user, such as a fall, actuates the trigger mechanism to trigger the firing blocks. The firing blocks are loaded with anchors and firing cartridges. Triggering the firing blocks causes the cartridges to fire, propelling the anchors into an anchoring surface, such as a roof. Because the user is connected to the trigger cable, once the anchors deploy the user is anchored to the roof and their fall arrested.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2020Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Auburn UniversityInventors: David Dyer, Tyler Sherer, David Carrell, Jim Flaniken, Chris Gaddes
