Abstract: A smart card may include a processor for controlling operation of the smartcard and a biometric sensor for identification of an authorised user, wherein the processor is arranged to permit access to one or more secure feature(s) of the smartcard in response to a multifactor authentication process requiring both: (i) confirmation of the identity of the smartcard based on a physically unclonable characteristic of the smartcard and (ii) authentication of the user' identity via the biometric sensor.

Abstract: A method is described for encrypting data that provides increase resistance to brute Identify data segments force attacks by parallel computing means, such as by a quantum computer. To encrypt the data, it is separated into a plurality of data segments, and each of the data segments is encrypted using a different encryption key. The encrypted data segments are then arranged as an encrypted data file in Assign encryption order a manner that impedes parallel attack of the encrypted data segments. For example, the lengths of the encrypted data segments may be non-uniform and/or the spacing of the encrypted data segments within the encrypted data file may be non-uniform. Each encrypted segment may contain a pointer to the next segment, thus permitting an authorised recipient to sequentially decrypt the data file without prior knowledge of the lengths and/or spacings of the encrypted data segments.

Abstract: The invention described here enables in-operation, low-cost, non-invasive measurement of component performance and condition for assessing device longevity prediction, resilience and reliability. The non-invasive component measurements to be performed and subsequently evaluated are based on at least a set of physically unclonable functions and other measurements which can be error corrected, and the error correction factor and other measurements provides insight to the device condition. The system as well is adaptive and allows the introduction of new measurements across not only similar components but to include the family of components similarly fabricated.

Abstract: The invention described here enables the real-time, low-cost, non-invasive measurement of neuromuscular performance for numerous healthcare and screening applications including assessing maladaptation prediction via a screening session as well as provision the application of correlated and corrected measurements of force displacement. The tests to be performed and subsequently measured are dynamically determined and administered using a computer guided and prompted process to acquire and process a subject's performance including predicting future injury. The system as well is adaptive and allows the introduction of new tests, or streamlining and combination of performance tests based on acquired data across the universe of screening platforms.
