  • Patent number: 11582039
    Abstract: A method performs cryptographic operations on data in a processing device. An iterative operation between a first operand formed by a given number of words and a second operand using a secret key is performed. The iterative operation includes, for each bit of the secret key, applying one of a first set operations and a second set of operations to the first operand and to the second operand depending on of the bit, and conditionally swapping words of the first and the second operand based on a control bit value obtained by applying a logic XOR function to a random bit.

  • Patent number: 11502836
    Abstract: A scalar multiplication operation includes an iterative procedure performing a set of operations at each iteration on a bit or on a group of consecutive bits of a secret key. The multiplication operation includes multiplying values of projective format coordinates by a random value. The random value is a product of a random number generated over a range having as end value a first value, with a second value, which is larger than said first value. The first value is a power of two of a word size multiplied by a multiplier value, minus one. The second value is equal to a power of two of a number of bits of the coordinates divided by the first value. The multiplier value is an integer greater than or equal to one and smaller than a ratio of said number of bits to the word size.

  • Publication number: 20190249832
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a lighting system including a bulb. The bulb includes a phosphor plate, and a scanning projector to emit a beam of collimated light and scan the beam of collimated light across the phosphor plate to thereby cause emission of light by portions of the phosphor plate impinged upon by the beam of collimated light. Control circuitry wirelessly receives configuration data and modulates the beam of collimated light during scanning so that the scanning forms a projection pattern on the phosphor plate. A control system is spaced apart from the bulb and processes the initial configuration data, and wirelessly sends the configuration data to the control circuitry of the bulb. A mobile wireless communications device wirelessly sends initial configuration data to the control system.
