  • Publication number: 20240048534
    Abstract: A communication system including a first and second module. A first network member is coupled to the first module, and a second network member is coupled to the second module. The modules being in communication with each other thereby allowing communication between the first network member and the second network member. The modules being configured to: encrypt a message, beginning with the encrypting of the message using a key and a salt, the salt being an entropy sourced random number produced using a one-way hash function producing hashes of an arbitrary length; stop the encrypting when the message is encrypted resulting in an encrypted message; encrypt the salt with the key resulting in an encrypted salt; assemble the encrypted salt, a demark character, the encrypted message and padding to form a data set; and securely communicate the data set from one of the modules to another of the modules.

  • Patent number: 11784985
    Abstract: An encryption/decryption method including the steps of encrypting a message, beginning with the encrypting of the message using a key and a salt, the salt being a random number; stopping the encrypting step when the message is encrypted resulting in an encrypted message; encrypting the salt with the key resulting in an encrypted salt; and assembling the encrypted salt, a demark character, the encrypted message and padding to form a data set.

  • Patent number: 11153283
    Abstract: A data communication encrypted system including a first module coupled to a first network member and a second module coupled to a second network member. The first module and the second module are in communication with each other thereby allowing communication between the first network member and the second network member. The first module and the second module each operating with a key hopping encryption/decryption method that changes key sets at irregular intervals of time as determined by the modules.
