Abstract: An embodiment features an RSA process in which the private key is separated into shares. Decryption (and authentication and other RSA objectives) may be accomplished by successive modular exponentiation of, for example, a ciphertext or a signature.

Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a method, device, and non-transitory medium including: determining a master key value for use in secure communications with a different device, wherein the master key value is used as a master key; deriving at least one session key using the master key; generating a new master key value based on the master key; deleting the current master key value; and using the new master key value as the master key.

Abstract: A method of gluing a cryptographic implementation of a cryptographic function to a surrounding program in a cryptographic system, including: receiving, by the cryptographic system, an input message; receiving a computed value from the surrounding program; performing, by the cryptographic system, a keyed cryptographic operation mapping the input message into an output message using the computed value from the surrounding program, wherein the output message is a correct output message when the computed value has a correct value; and outputting the output message.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a substrate, characterized by a first surface and a second surface, for use in a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes providing a mold having a first template and/or a second template corresponding to a first texture and a second texture respectively. Then, the method includes injection molding a material for the substrate in the mold, to form the substrate, such that the material is injection molded to create the first texture on the first surface and/or the second texture on the second surface. The first texture and/or the second texture facilitate light extraction or light trapping in the semiconductor device.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes providing a transparent substrate having predefined active regions and non-active regions. Thereafter, the method includes spraying droplets of a lacquer on the predefined active regions to form corresponding lacquer layer regions, such that the non-active regions do not have presence of the lacquer. The lacquer layer regions are of a predefined thickness to enable their functional texturing. Texturing of lacquer layer enables light trapping or light extraction. Thereafter, one or more semiconductor layers are deposited o the lacquer layer regions and a cover substrate is provided. The cover substrate is joined to the transparent substrate at a portion of the non-active regions and encapsulates the lacquer layer regions and the one or more semiconductor layers between itself and the transparent substrate.

Abstract: A road pricing smart client and method for a road pricing system enabling the removal of information from the positioning data describing the itinerary which suggest private data such as travelling speed and itinerary of the originator of the data. Accordingly, the smart client and method is configured to re-sample the original positioning points of the route into equidistant sections, remove timing information from the positioning data, slice the re-sampled route into slices shaped as those provided by other road users by employing a common “virtual grid”. By transmitting the slices in randomized order with an arbitrary delay, coherence of slices corresponding to formerly neighboring portions of the itinerary, are not correlated anymore. However, there is still enough information provided to the toll system to send an excerpt of the fee database allowing the smart pricing client or method to calculate the occurred fees.

Abstract: A method is provided for simultaneously forming functional light structures and grooves configured to hold electrical circuitry on a lacquer layer deposited on a base substrate, which is for use in an optoelectronic device. The method includes applying the lacquer layer on the base substrate and heating it beyond its glass transition temperature to soften it. Thereafter, a stamper is used to simultaneously replicate the grooves and the functional light structures onto the lacquer layer. The stamper has a mating surface, which has negative impressions of the grooves on its first portion and the functional light structures on its second portion. Thereafter, the lacquer layer is cooled and the electrical circuitry is formed in the grooves on the lacquer layer.
