Abstract: A system and method for secure peer-to-peer mobile communications using cryptographic mobile unlock tokens (“CK tokens”) in conjunction with mobile devices. Each CK token integrates an entire cryptosystem. Executing these cryptographic based functions entirely in the token have significant operational advantages over the typically memory-only tokens. A more secure, scalable, and lower overall system cost are just a few advantages of the CK token over executing these functions within the smartphone. Of the many uses discussed for the CK token, mobile phone enabling, stored value and medical applications, most have centered on the use of the card in conjunction with a smartphone as the touch point in the transaction.

Abstract: A method for storing medical data on a secure ID card and retrieving the medical data from the card using an authentication device. The method comprises the steps of verifying the card and the authentication device, unlocking in the card a user password template stored in the card in response to verification of the card and authentication device, inputting a password, transmitting the password to the card, comparing the inputted password to the unlocked password template, unlocking a biometric template stored in the card in response to a positive comparison, capturing biometric data a person with the biometric sensor, generating in the authentication device a biometric template through processing of the captured biometric data, transmitting the template to the card, comparing the biometric template to the unlocked template, generating a decryption key, and using the decryption key to unlock a medical application on the authentication device.

Abstract: A secure token, possibly in the form of a smartcard, has a smart window with smart materials such as an electrophoretic or an electrochromic layer or assembly. When authenticated, such as by using biometrics or a password, the smart window layer is electronically pulsed, thereby transforming the once opaque layer to transparent and revealing information printed under, on or over the layer, or vice versa, transforming once transparent laminate to opaque and obfuscating printed information. In another embodiment, when the smart window layer is electronically pulsed to transform the once opaque laminate to transparent, a timer is started. At the end of a certain amount of time, the smart window layer is pulsed a second time, thereby transforming the layer back from transparent to opaque.
