Patent number: 11790076Abstract: A computer-implemented method for authenticating a request to access a remote resource includes identifying a request from a first device to access a resource located on a second device. The computer-implemented method further includes retrieving one or more encrypted passwords for authenticating access to the resource from a partition of a vault located on the first device. The computer-implemented method further includes comparing the one or more encrypted passwords retrieved from the partition of the vault located on the first device to one or more designated passwords stored on the second device. The computer-implemented method further includes granting the first device access to the resource located on the second device based, at least in part, on the one or more encrypted passwords retrieved from the partition of the vault located on the first device matching the one or more designated passwords stored on the second device.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mark E.

Patent number: 10318780Abstract: Examples of techniques for encoding data in a 2D symbology are disclosed. In one example described herein, a computer-implemented method comprises capturing an image of the 2D symbology. The 2D symbology comprises a series of data symbols representing a binary string. Each of the data symbols comprises a line segment, and each data symbol in the series of data symbols are positioned in an end-to-end orientation starting at a starting indicator designated by a first symbol and ending at an ending indicator designated by a second symbol. The first symbol differs from the second symbol, and the series of data symbols comprise 0-bit symbols represented by a first data symbol and 1-bit symbols represented by a second data symbol. The method further comprises extracting the binary string from the 2D symbology by reading each of the data symbols between the starting indicator and the ending indicator.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2018Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Erich Guenter, Mark E.

Patent number: 9633295Abstract: To encode information into a two-dimensional (2D) symbol, a palette is selected to represent data in the 2D symbol, the palette including a set of shape fillers. A Base number system is selected according to the palette. A rule is selected, where the rule determines a manner of reading an encoded form of the data from the 2D symbol. The rule and the data are encoded as a set of shapes, where the shapes in the set of shapes are configured using the palette and arranged into a grid pattern, with or without visible grid lines, to form the 2D symbol. The 2D symbol is output in a size that matches an area.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2015Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Erich Guenter, Mark E.
