Publication number: 20210234690Abstract: Qwyit® Authentication and Encryption Service serves as a direct replacement of Transport Layer Security. Applications can place a small code segment within their communications protocol, resulting in authenticated and encrypted message traffic with the features of TLS while adding additional improvements as set forth herein. QAES provides a direct next generation replication and enhancement of the current, only global secure communications framework. QAES provides the same features, benefits, authentication (embedded) and data security (stream cipher) for communications traffic using the Qwyit® Directory Service key store. The combination of features and properties provide a simple, straightforward way for any application to incorporate secure communications. The unique, superior Qwyit® protocol delivers where TLS fails: embedded security without any need for additional bandwidth, processing power or cumbersome user requirements.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2021Publication date: July 29, 2021Applicant: Qwyit LLCInventor: R.

Publication number: 20200051054Abstract: A method and apparatus for a streamlined electronic credit transaction that provides more security in a streamlined transaction process than any current deferred net settlement system. The removal of the physical credit card restores the proper risk balance to all participants and performs processing in real time, faster than any current system. The method relies on secure authentication and encryption security communications, based on the provably secure unbreakable mathematics of underdetermined systems of equations, which are maintained everywhere throughout the transaction process.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2019Publication date: February 13, 2020Applicant: Qwyit LLCInventor: R.

Patent number: 10498714Abstract: A method for obtaining an encryption/authentication key uses multiple return channels over which to send parts of the key, which parts are then combined to form the actual key. A method includes receiving an open request for a first key which is a trusted key wrapped in a public key. The open request includes an authentication request value that identifies the open request as a verified setup directory service, the public key, an email address and a specified out-of-band channel. The server sends a first reply sent directly back with a first half of the first key offset by a unique value and wrapped using the public key. The second reply is sent via email which includes a second half of the first key offset by the first half of the first key. The third reply is sent over the out-of-band channel, which includes the unique value.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2016Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: Qwyit LLCInventor: R. Paul McGough

Publication number: 20140156995Abstract: A method for performing authenticated communication in a public network includes sending an open request to a common directory server for a first key, the first key being a trusted embedded authentication common directory service key wrapped in a public key of a public-private key pair. The open request includes an authentication request value that identifies the open request as a verified setup directory service, the public key, an email address and a specified third additional out-of-band communication channel. The common directory server sends a first reply of three replies after generating the first key, which first reply is sent directly back to the directory server with a first half of the first key offset by a unique value and wrapped using the public key.

Patent number: 8144874Abstract: A system and method comprising a computer useable medium having computer readable program code means embodied therein for authenticating and encrypting and decrypting information transferred over a public network between a client application program running in a client computer and a server application program running in a server computer and a directory service application program running in a server computer. A method for obtaining a session master key by an application from a server includes sending an open request to the server for the session master key and receiving a first reply by the application from the server with a first portion of the session master key. The first reply identifies a directory server from which a second portion of the session master key may be obtained. The application sends an open request to the directory server specified by the server in the first reply for the second portion of the session master key and receives it from the directory server.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2007Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Inventor: R.

Patent number: 8144875Abstract: A system and method comprising a computer useable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein for authenticating and encrypting and decrypting information transferred over a public network between a client application program running in a client computer and a server application program running in a server computer and a directory service application program running in a server computer. A method for secure communication by a processor with a server includes generating a message to the server by employing a one pass key generation probabilistic authentication process using a predetermined session master key and sending the message to the server. A method for secure communication between an application executable on a computer and a web server coupled to the computer includes participating by the application in an initial authentication process with the server and wrapping every GET and POST request message to the server in an SSLX-EA exchange after the initial authentication process.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2007Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Inventor: R.
