  • Publication number: 20230419759
    Abstract: An entry system includes a plurality of first user devices, such as key fobs, ID cards and the like. A plurality of second user devices are maintained by users, and may include mobile phones, smart watches and tablets. A main entry system controls a barrier to allow entry to approved individuals. An authorization system is configured to validate the first and second user devices, and to send an electronic questionnaire to the second user device. The user must complete the questionnaire and transmit it to the main entry system. The second user device, the main entry system, and the authorization system communicate with each other over a computer network. If the user successfully completes the questionnaire and the user's identity is authenticated, the main entry system allows the barrier to be opened so that the user may enter the facility.

  • Patent number: 11655664
    Abstract: A door unit in kit form includes a partially preassembled split doorjamb assembly, a door, and extensions. The partially preassembled split doorjamb assembly includes first and second side bases substantially parallel to one another and a header base substantially perpendicular to and interconnecting the first and second side bases. The door is arranged within a space defined by the first and second side bases and the header base of the partially preassembled split doorjamb assembly so that the door, the first and second side bases, and the header base collectively establish a cavity. The first and second side extensions and a header extension are unassembled with respect to and connectable lengthwise to the first and second side bases and the header base, respectively. The extensions may be stowed within the cavity and/or stored on outer surfaces of the bases.

  • Patent number: 7861305
    Abstract: A method for malware detection, wherein the method includes: utilizing a hardware based program flow monitor (PFM) for embedded software that employs a static analysis of program code; marrying the program code to addresses, while considering which central processing unit (CPU) is executing the program code; capturing an expected control flow of the program code, and storing the control flow as physical address pairs of leaders and followers (LEAD-FOLL pair) in a Metadata Store (MDS) within the PFM; monitoring control flow at runtime by the PFM; and comparing runtime control flow with the expected control flow.

  • Publication number: 20060104443
    Abstract: A random number generator (RNG) resistant to side channel attacks includes an activation pseudo random number generator (APRNG) having an activation output connected to an activation seed input to provide a next seed to the activation seed input. A second random number generator includes a second seed input, which receives the next seed and a random data output, which outputs random data in accordance with the next seed. An input seed memory is connected to the activation seed input and a feedback connection from the activation output so that the next seed is stored in the input seed memory to be used by the APRNG as the activation seed input at a next startup cycle.
