  • Electronically signing a document
    Patent number: 7490240
    Abstract: A method of electronically signing a document includes initializing a user, including generating an asymmetric key pair including a private signing key and a public signing key, and storing the private signing key and the public signing key; and providing an electronic signature, including receiving document data corresponding to at least one selected portion of the document, binding the stored private signing key and the document data to create an electronic signature, and providing the electronic signature for a recipient.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 12, 2007
    Date of Patent: February 10, 2009
    Assignee: TecSec, Inc.

  • Context oriented crypto processing on a parallel processor array
    Patent number: 7069448
    Abstract: A system provides cryptographic processing of input data on a parallel processor array that includes plural processors. A format filter extracts control and main data from the input data. A control unit receives the control data, and based on the control data, forwards control and cryptographic parameters to the processors. A first distributor distributes to each processor at least a portion of the main data. A second distributor receives output information from each processor, and based thereon, generates output data. Each processor generates output information based on the control and cryptographic parameters. The output data is a cryptographic processing result.
