Patent number: 11968292Abstract: Data is encoded to be incrementally authenticable. A plaintext is used to generate a ciphertext that comprises a plurality of authentication tags. Proper subsets of the authentication tags are usable to authenticate respective portions of plaintexts obtained from the ciphertext. Portions of the plaintext can be obtained and authenticated without decrypting the complete ciphertext.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2014Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Hanson Char

Patent number: 10885516Abstract: Disclosed is secure decryption and business rule validation of encrypted confidential data within a hardware security module (HSM). The validation may include the use of a Bloom filter stored and executing within the HSM. The return order of encrypted data within the HSM as well as requests for external data relating to validation may be randomized to further harden against correlation attacks.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2015Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jason Jenks, Brandon B. Low, Hanson Char, Peter S. Vosshall, Waylon Brunette

Patent number: 9582524Abstract: Techniques are described for migrating data from a first table to a second table while transforming at least one characteristic of the data. Characteristics transformed may include one or more of an encryption key or method, a table schema, a data structure, or a storage infrastructure. Migration may be performed in two or more phases. A first phase may migrate and transform a majority of the data, such as data that is older than a certain threshold age. A second phase may migrate and transform the remaining, newer data. A status table may indicate which tables are active and are to be written to and read from during data writing and data consuming processes. Moreover, embodiments support data replication across multiple regions.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2012Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Srikanth Murali, Thomas J. Ahearn, Hanson Char, Alan G. Davison, Brian P. King, Isuru Ranaweera, Zhengqiang Xu, Stepan P. Yakovlev

Patent number: 9537657Abstract: Incremented authenticated encryption involves dividing a data stream to be encrypted into multiple data segments and encrypting each of the data segments. For each encrypted data segment, an authorization tag is generated. Each segment's authorization tag may be based on the corresponding segment's position in the sequence of data segments within the data stream. A segment authorization tag may be generated based on an segment initialization vector that may be incremented with each segment authorization tag. Each data segment may be encrypted independently of the others. Similarly, each encrypted data segment may be decrypted and authenticated independently of the others. Additionally, a final authentication tag may be generated. The final authentication tag may be used to authenticate all the data segments of the data stream as a whole.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2014Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Hanson Char, Matthew John Campagna, Gregory Alan Rubin
