  • Publication number: 20250132904
    Abstract: An example method is provided for resuming a communication session encrypted using a post-quantum cipher. The example method can include receiving, by a first computing system, a resumption message from a second computing system. The example method can include decrypting, by the first computing system, the resumption message to obtain a resumption secret, wherein the resumption secret is based on at least a portion of a shared secret that was obtained using a post-quantum cipher during a prior handshake sequence between the first computing system and the second computing system. The example method can include encrypting, by the first computing system, one or more messages using a session key based on the resumption secret. The example method can include sending, by the first computing system, the encrypted one or more messages to the second computing system.

  • Patent number: 10509140
    Abstract: The shape and size of a borehole may be characterized downhole, using measurements of the borehole shape in conjunction with a catalog of shapes against which the measured shape is matched. A unique identifier for the measured borehole shape, and optionally a size parameter, may be transmitted to a surface facility, generally saving bandwidth compared with the transmission of the raw measured borehole-shape data. Alternatively or additionally, downhole measurements may be adjusted based on the measured shape.
