  • Patent number: 10957118
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a frame configured to suspend an article of clothing and a plurality of terahertz sensors coupled to the frame. The terahertz sensors are configured to image an article of clothing suspended from the frame from different vantage points from within an interior of the article of clothing. Another apparatus includes a frame configured to suspend an article of clothing and a terahertz sensor coupled to the frame and configured to image an article of clothing suspended from the frame from within an interior of the article of clothing. The terahertz sensor is selectively positionable along the frame thereby enabling imaging from different vantage points.

  • Patent number: 10931453
    Abstract: Authentication of tokens and associated are used to provide a just-in-time key synchronization for user access to a service in a cloud computing environment which includes a plurality of availability zones with an identity service, a storage system, and a keystore. The encryption keys are distributed by the storage system based on a user access request containing a token with a payload and a current user cryptographic key. The token is then sent to the keystore to authenticate the user. The keystore authenticates the user and sends the token with the current cryptographic key to the storage system. The storage system receives the token with the current cryptographic key and grants access to the user for the service.

  • Patent number: 10833859
    Abstract: A encrypted verification system and method includes detecting an attempt to access a service requiring multi-factor authentication from a first user computing device, requesting a trusted platform module (TPM) public key of a second user computing device, the second user computing device being coupled to the first user computing device, generating a nonce in response to receiving the TPM public key of the second user computing device, sending the nonce for signature by a TPM private key of the second user computing device, receiving a signed nonce, wherein the signed nonce is signed by the TPM private key and decrypted using the TPM public key of the second user computing device, and determining that a value of the signed nonce matches a value of the nonce to authenticate the first user computing device and allowing access to the service.
