Publication number: 20210021364Abstract: A system and method for permuting known and unknown message bits before encoding to provide a beneficial rearrangement of bits. Such a method can improve distance properties in the resulting subcode. In various embodiments, the structure of a beneficial rearrangement is dependent on the parameters of how known and unknown bits are grouped and on the specific type of code being used. Given these two parameters, the message bits can be rearranged to more efficiently leverage any apriori knowledge.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2020Publication date: January 21, 2021Inventors: Michael Eoin Buckley, Sean Bartholomew Simmons, Nathaniel Joseph Karst, Youn Hyoung Heo, Zhijun Cai, Andrew Mark Earnshaw, Masoud Ebrahimi Tazeh Mahalleh, Mo-Han Fong

Patent number: 10630665Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used to share content. In some aspects, a message is received at an electronic device from a sender. A first type 0 short message service (SMS) message is sent, from the electronic device to the sender. The first type 0 SMS message indicates an authentication request for the message. A second type 0 SMS message is received at the electronic device. The second type 0 SMS message indicates that the message is authenticated.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2016Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Shu-Lin Chen, Reguina Bouianovskaia, Michael Eoin Buckley

Patent number: 10531303Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used to share content. In some aspect, an electronic device selects a base station to camp on. A first message is sent from the electronic device to the base station. The first message is addressed to a server and requests the server to send a second message to the electronic device. Whether the electronic device receives the second message from the base station within a threshold time period after the first message is sent is determined. The electronic device determines that the base station has a security risk based at least in part on whether the second message is received within the threshold time period.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2016Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Michael Eoin Buckley, Shu-Lin Chen

Patent number: 10284377Abstract: There is provided a method for secure communications. The method includes a computing device receiving a notification comprising a message, a counter value, a signature signed by a signer and based on the message and the counter value, and an indication of the signer. The device obtains a current counter value based on an identity of the signer, checks the signature and compares the counter value with the current counter value; and, if the counter comparison and the signature checking is successful, accepting the message.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2017Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignees: BlackBerry Limited, Certicom Corp.Inventors: Michael Eoin Buckley, Robert John Lambert, Nevine Maurice Nassif Ebeid
