Abstract: An accelerated transparent authenticated Data Exchange system wherein the chronology of alternating senders' and receivers' messages are authenticated typically at each step, with an easy to use provision for resending, in the event of faulty transmission, such that the final message hash value authenticates the negotiation chronologically from first to final message, wherein the final hash value is operative to enable a signature of an entity or entities which binds such entity to the whole data exchange, which signature can be in clear text, encoded, and/or encrypted with authentication integrity. The system is useful for managing computerized negotiations including client-initiated computerized negotiations and including computerized financial transactions.

Abstract: Methods (3500-3695) and apparatus (10, 20) for controlling physical (30, 40) and virtual (12) access for accelerated recognition and processing of privileges, benefits, value transfers, crowd control, community membership and status, in particular for institutions, arenas and other large venues.

Abstract: An arrangement, system, and methods for creating and distributing authenticated personal information for users of network services and participants in social surveys, and in chat rooms and other forums. A trusted organization verifies that personal information presented by a user is correct, and authenticates the information in an encapsulated form as “certified profiles” within a smart card or other secure portable hardware device issued to the user Certified profiles are authenticated by digital signatures of the trusted organization and the profile users. Personal information in certified profiles can be in raw and/or in statistically-processed and abstracted form, and can be tailored by the user for specific needs to include whatever personal information is required, and to exclude all other personal information.

Abstract: Random number generators are used for entertainment in gambling, lotteries and video gaming devices. True Random Number Generators, as are now currently defined, must be actuated by a physical noise source, typically based on the uncertainty of the phase differences of a stable and an unstable autonomous oscillator. In this invention an autonomous random frequency modulated oscillator driven by a self contained pseudo-random number generator outputs three loosely correlated random binary streams. Included in the invention is a hardware method for proving wandering phase differences and also the existence of a colored random distribution of concatenated nibbles.

Abstract: A system for facilitating a sequence of events each comprising a multiplicity of purchases made by known users, the system comprising an on-site data bank recording an ID and a pre-paid balance value for each user expected to attend, a loader operative to set up for each event by loading into the data bank, IDs and pre-paid balance values, for users expected to attend, portable receptacles issued to each user and storing his ID and balance, e-cash filling stations incrementing the balance in the data bank, to reflect pre-payments made thereby, and mobile service provider workstations operative to read portable receptacles, to access the data bank according to the user ID of each portable receptacle, to enter into a transaction with a user if his balance accessed from the data bank is positive, and to decrement the transaction's value from his balance in the data bank.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed, especially designed for very compact hardware implementations, to generate random number strings with a high level of entropy at maximum speed. For immediate deployment of software implementations, certain permutations have been introduced to maintain the same level of unpredictability which is more amenable to hi-level software programming, with a small time loss on hardware execution; typically when hardware devices communicate with software implementations. Particular attention has been paid to maintain maximum correlation immunity, and to maximize non-linearity of the output sequence. Good stream ciphers are based on random generators which have a large number of secured internal binary variables, which lead to the page synchronized stream ciphering. The method for parsed page synchronization which is presented is especially valuable for Internet applications, where occasionally frame sequences are often mixed.

Abstract: A system for multi-factor security involving multiple secure devices that distribute the secured functions of the system over the different devices, such that the loss or theft of any one of them does not compromise the overall security of the system. Moreover, a configuration of devices is also secure even if one of them has been attacked by malicious software agents, such as “keyboard sniffers”. A novel contactless smart card reader (200) is presented that incorporates a transceiver antenna (220) within a keypad (210) of a device used with contactless smart cards (100). When the card (100) is pressed against the device's keypad (210), the transceiver (220) of the device establishes a session with the smart card (100). A variety of systems are presented, including those using mobile telephones, computer-interfaced card readers, personal digital appliances, and television set-top box remote controllers.
