  • Patent number: 12261952
    Abstract: A system and method of securely generating encryption keys that includes a computing device obtaining a seed and applying a first function to the seed to derive a first sequence of digits. A second function is then used to obtain a second sequence of digits from the first sequence of digits at a predetermined start position. The encryption key is derived from the resulting second sequence of digits.

  • Patent number: 12250310
    Abstract: Elliptical curve cryptography (ECC) utilizes an elliptic curve consistent with the formula px mod q=r, where x is a private key having an irrational number component. The irrational component is employed to provide much greater entropy than would be achieved where x is a prime number.

  • Publication number: 20250015984
    Abstract: A method for generating large quantum-resistant encryption keys for the generation of a cyphertext from a plaintext file. The system generates two large keys in a parallel process using initial seed values to provide quantum-resistant output values that are used to generate the cyphertext. The size of the output keys are dictated by the size of the input keys and are not limited to the sizes of standardized encryption schemes.

  • Publication number: 20240402806
    Abstract: A system that includes an intraocular camera and a neural emissions detecting component that can initiate and then stop a passive persistent broadcast of video captured by the camera based on a neural emission associated with a stimulus or feeling by the user. The system determines a neural emission signature based on the received neural emission signal and determines whether a stop threshold has been met. If the stop threshold has been met, the system causes the camera to stop capturing video, thus avoiding the capture and broadcast of an undesirable situation and preserving the user's privacy along with the privacy of those in the vicinity.

  • Publication number: 20240372721
    Abstract: A system for key management that includes a sending computing device that encrypts and sends a message to a receiving computing device. The sending computing device appends location information to the encrypted message that enables the receiving computing device to find a location of the decryption key. The receiving device can authenticate itself with a token to receive the decryption key. This system allows for a decentralized storage of a one-time keypad, where the keys within the keypad are scattered such that a compromise of one storage device does not compromise the entire keypad.

  • Publication number: 20240340176
    Abstract: A system and method for transforming data using a cypher key. To reverse transformed data, a computing device applies a mathematical function to a cypher key to generate a set of possible values. The computing device then tests the set of possible values against a confirmation sequence to determine the correct value, which is used to resolve the target sequence. The resolution of the target sequence can include a decompression of compressed data or a decryption of encrypted data.

  • Publication number: 20240315833
    Abstract: A system for displaying intraocular images that includes a shape-adjustable lens with a transparent display disposed on the lens. When the shape of the lens changes, the transparent display's shape also changes, causing an image to be distorted. The system detects the change in the shape of the lens or the display and corrects the image accordingly so that it is once again properly displayed and viewed by the wearer of the system.

  • Publication number: 20240280841
    Abstract: An ocular system that includes a camera and a display to be inserted intra-ocularly. The camera is preferably located centrally to the display and can include magnification and other functions to assist the user in seeing their environment more clearly. The system can also include pass-through functions such that the user is not disturbed by the presence of the camera in their field of vision.

  • Patent number: 11943336
    Abstract: A method of encrypting and decrypting multiple individual pieces or sets of data in which a computing device randomly selects a group of seeds that it then uses to generate irrational numbers. Sections of the generated irrational numbers can be used as one-time pads or keys to encrypt the corresponding data sets. Intended recipients can then reverse the process using their allowed keys to access data for which they have authorization.

  • Patent number: 11902420
    Abstract: A method of securely encrypting data whereby a computing device can utilize a seed and a pin to generate a mantissa of an irrational number. The computing device can then utilize a portion of the mantissa as a one-time pad to encrypt data. The seed can be transmitted to a recipient via a graphical code to enable secure decryption by a recipient's computing device.
