Patent number: 9633391Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for digital content management and distribution are provided. In an example, a method of protecting digital content at a kiosk is provided. The method includes providing a plurality of memory devices, the plurality of memory devices having pre-loaded content thereon. A selection is received from a user. A memory device is selected from the plurality of pre-loaded memory devices that matches the selection from the user. A dock to which the memory device is to be coupled is determined. The memory device is protected with a unique key corresponding to the dock.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2011Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: CRAM Worldwide, LLCInventors: R. Daren Klum, Matthew D. Fairchild, Keith A. Pagan, Daniel L. Hench

Patent number: 9600693Abstract: Systems and apparatus disclosed herein provide for a tamper resistant electronic device. The electronic device can include a circuit board, a shell, an anti-tamper material, a memory, one or more sensors, and tamper responsive electronics. The one or more sensors can be configured to sense when the shell moves away from the circuit board. The anti-tamper material can be integrated into the first portion of the shell and disposed to protect the memory, one or more sensors, and the tamper responsive electronics. The tamper responsive electronics on the circuit board can be coupled to the anti-tamper material and the one or more sensors, and can be configured to zeroize data in the memory if tampering is sensed by the anti-tamper material or if one or more of the one or more sensors sense the shell has moved away from the circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2015Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: CRAM Worldwide, LLCInventors: R. Daren Klum, Matthew D. Fairchild, Daniel L. Hench, Keith A. Pagan, Robert Sean Hagen

Patent number: 9066447Abstract: Systems and apparatus disclosed herein provide for heat dissipation from a chip protected by an anti-tamper material. An example electronic device includes a circuit board having electronics mounted thereon, and a security shield covering one or more electronics on the circuit board and configured to sense tampering, the one or more electronics including a chip, the security shield defining an aperture. The device also includes a heat sink extending through the aperture and thermally coupling with the chip, the heat sink extending outside of the security shield.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2011Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: Cram Worldwide, LLCInventors: R.

Publication number: 20150169905Abstract: Systems and apparatuses disclosed herein provide for a tamper resistant electronic device. The electronic device can include a circuit board, a shell, an anti-tamper material, a memory, one or more sensors, and tamper responsive electronics. The one or more sensors can be configured to sense when the shell moves away from the circuit board. The anti-tamper material can be about the first portion of the shell and disposed to protect the memory, one or more sensors, and the tamper responsive electronics. The tamper responsive electronics on the circuit board can be coupled to the anti-tamper material and the one or more sensors, and can be configured to zeroize data in the memory if tampering is sensed by the anti-tamper material or if one or more of the one or more sensors sense the shell has moved away from the circuit board.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2015Publication date: June 18, 2015Inventors: R.

Patent number: 9009860Abstract: Systems and apparatuses disclosed herein provide for a tamper resistant electronic device. The electronic device can include a circuit board, housing, a security shield, one or more pressure sensitive switches, and security electronics. The security shield can cover a first area of the circuit board and be configured to sense tampering. The security shield can also be integrated into the first part of the housing, wherein a second area of the circuit board is covered by the housing and is outside of the security shield, both the first area and the second area having electronics therein. The security electronics on the circuit board can be coupled to the security shield and the one or more pressure switches, and can be configured to zeroize data stored on the circuit board if the security shield senses tampering or if one or more of the one or more pressure sensitive switches is disengaged.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2011Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Cram Worldwide, LLCInventors: R.
