  • Patent number: 11783056
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a first device may generate a data block for an ordered set of data blocks such that the data block is cryptographically chained to a given data block preceding the data block in the ordered set. The first device may obtain an encryption key used to encrypt information related to the data block, and use group members' keys to encrypt the encryption key to generate a group key. As an example, the group's members may include a first member associated with the first device and other members. The keys used to encrypt the encryption key may include the other members' keys. The first device may transmit the ordered set and the group key to a communication resource (e.g., accessible by the members). Other devices (associated with the other members) may use the ordered set and the group key to obtain content related to the ordered set.

  • Patent number: 9990502
    Abstract: Systems and methods for security hardening of a file in transit and at rest via segmentation, shuffling and multi-key encryption are presented. The method including segmenting at a first computer system a file into a plurality of file segments, and encrypting the plurality of file segments using a plurality of encryption keys in order to generate a corresponding plurality of encrypted file segments, wherein each file segment of the plurality of file segments is encrypted using a respective encryption key of the plurality of encryption keys. Additionally included is bidirectional data transformation of a file by obfuscating at a first computer system digital values of the file in order to generate corresponding obfuscated digital values of the file, wherein the obfuscated digital values of the file retain their contextual integrity and referential integrity.
